Rick in Macon
[C]Ten years ago on a cold dark night
[G7]Someone was killed 'neath the [F]town hall [C]light
[C]Just a few at the scene, and they all did agree
That the [G7]slayer who ran looked a l[F]ot like [C]me
[C]The judge said "Son, what is your alibi?
If you were [G7]somewhere else, then you [F]won't have to d[C]ie"
[C]I spoke not a word, although it meant my life
For I'd [G7]been in the arms of my [F]best friend's [C]wife
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/k/kingston_trio/long_black_veil_crd.html )
Chorus:
She w[F]alks these [C]hills in a [F]long black [C]veil
She [F]visits my g[C]rave when the [F]night winds [C]wail
[C]Nobody k[C7]nows, n[F]obody s[C]ees
[F]Nobody k[G7]nows, but m[C]e
The [C]scaffold was high, and eternity near
She [G7]stood in the crowd, and [F]shed not a t[C]ear
But [C]sometimes at night when the cold winds moan
In a l[G7]ong black veil, she c[F]ries o'er my [C]bones
