Long Black Veil Grisman, Garcia, Rice Key: D

INTRO: DAGD

VERSE: D Ten years ago, on a cold dark night, A G D there was someone killed ‘neath the town hall light. D There were few at the scene, but they all agreed A G D that the man who ran looked a lot like me.

VERSE: The judge said “Son, what is your alibi? If you were somewhere else, then you won’t have to die.” Well, I said not a word, though it meant my life For I’d been in the arms of my best friends wife.

CHORUS: G D G D She walks these hills in a long black veil. G D G D She visits my grave while the night wind wails. D G D G A D Nobody knows, Nobody sees, Nobody knows but me.

SOLO OVER VERSE CHORDS

The gallows were close and eternity near She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear Sometimes at night, when the cold winds blow In a long black veil, she cries o’er my bones

CHORUS

D G D G A D Nobody knows, Nobody sees, Nobody knows but me.
