Subject: "THE_LONG_BLACK_VEIL"BY: HANK WILLIAMS JR.
FROM THE LP "SWEET DREAMS" 1971
CAPO on 2nd Fret (Key of E)
(D)
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
(A) (G) (D)
Someone was killed 'neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene,but they all agree
(A) (G) (D)
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me.
(D)
The judge said son what is your alibi
(A) (G)
If you were some where else then maybe you
(D)
won't have to die
I spoke not a word all though it meant my life
(A) (G)
For I had been in the arms of my best friend's
(D)
wife.
(CHORUS)
(G) (D)
She walk these hills
(G) (D)
In a long black veil
(G) (D)
She visits my grave
(G) (D)
when the night winds w-ai-ails
(G) (D)
Nobody knows,nobody sees
(A) (D)
Nobody knows but me.
(D)
The scaffold was high and eternity near
(A) (G) (D)
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
(D)
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans (A)
(G)
(spoken)>In a long black veil she cries o'er my
(D)
bones.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(G) (A) (D)
LONG BLACK VEIL
