Guitar Tabs and Lyrics For Lefty Frizzell - The Long Black Veil

[D]Ten years ago on a cold dark night 
There was [A]someone killed â¬Üneath the [G]town hall [D]light 
There were few at the scene, but they all agree 
That the [A]slayer who ran looked a [G]lot like [D]me 
The judge said son what is your alibi 
If you were [A]somewhere else then [G]you wonâ¬"t have to [D]die 
I spoke not a word though it meant my life 
For I had [A]been in the arms of my [G]best friendâ¬"s [D]wife 
 
She [G]walks these [D]hills 
In a [G]long black [D]veil 
She [G]visits my [D]grave 
When the [G]night winds [D]wail 
Nobody knows, [G]nobody [D]sees,  
[G]nobody [A]knows but [D]me  
 
The [D]scaffoldâ¬"s high and eternity near 
She [A]stood in the crowd and [G]shed not a [D]tear 
But [D]sometimes at night when the cold wind blows 
In a [A]long black veil she [G]cries oâ¬"er my [D]bones 
 
She [G]walks these [D]hills 
In a [G]long black [D]veil 
She [G]visits my [D]grave 
When the [G]night winds [D]wail 
Nobody knows, [G]nobody [D]sees,  
[G]nobody [A]knows but [D]me  
 
[G]Nobody [A]knows but [D]me  
[G]Nobody [A]knows but [D]me
