Gene Clark - The Long Black Veil lyrics

Gene Clark Silverado '75 Live And Unreleased The Long Black Veil A Now it was ten years ago on a cold dark night E D A There was somebody k**ed 'neath the town hall light A The people around, they all did agree E D A That the stranger who fled looked a lot like me Harmonica break A Now the judge said "son, what is your alibi? E D A If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die" A She spoke not a word though it meant my life E D A For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife D A D A She walks these hills in a long black veil D A D A Visits my grave where the night winds wail A D A Nobody knows, nobody sees E D A Nobody knows but me Harmonica break A Now the scaffold on high and eternity near E D A She stood in the crowd and she shed not a tear A But sometimes at night when the cold wind blows E D A She visits my grave and she cries over my bones D A D A She walks these hills in a long black veil D A D A Visits my grave where the night winds wail A D A Nobody knows, nobody sees E D A Nobody knows but me A D A Nobody knows, nobody sees E D A Nobody knows but me
