Long Black Veil

Dave Matthews Band

   C
1. Ten years ago on a cold, dark night
   G                           F         C2
   Someone was kill beneath the town hall light
   C
   There were few at the scene but they all did agree
      G                        F        C2
   the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me

      F           C           F         C
R: She walks these hills, in along black veil
      F         C               F           C
   she visits my grave, when the night winds wail
   C            F      C     F      G         C
   nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me

2. The judge said "Son what is your alibi, 
   if you were somewhere else then you don't have to die"
   Well I spoke not a word though it meant my life
   for I had been in the arms, of my best friends wife

R: She walks these hills...

3. Well the scaffold is high and eternity is near
   she stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
   but sometimes at night when the cold wind blows 
   in a long black vail she cries over my bones

R: She walks these hills...
