lirik lagu the band - long black veil
g
ten years ago on a cool dark night
d c g
there was someone killed ‘neath the town hall light
g
there were few at the scene and they all did agree
d c g
that the man who ran looked a lot like me
the judge said “son, what is your alibi?
if you were somewhere else then you won’t have to die”
i spoke not a word although it meant my life
i had been in the arms of my best friend’s wife
c g c g
she walks these hills in a long black veil
c g c g
she visits my grave where the night winds wail
g c g
n-body knows, no, and n-body sees
c g d c
n-body knows but me
the scaffold was high and eternity neared
she stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
but sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
in a long black veil she cries over my bones
