The Long Black Veil
Composição de (Danny Dill/Marijohn Wilkin)
G 
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night 
D7                              C            G 
Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall light 
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed 
           D7                      C        G  
That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me 
      G                             
The judge said son, what is your alibi 
             D7                       C             G  
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die 
I spoke not a word, al-tho' it meant my life 
         D7                     C             G 
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
