Dave Matthews Band – Long Black Veil (Guitar)

C
Ten years ago on a cool dark night

 G                             F         C
Someone was killed beneath the town hall light

     C
The few at the scene   all did agree

         G                       F        C
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me

     F          C           F         C
She walks these hills in a long black veil

     F         C               F          C
She visits my grave where the night winds wail

   C             F    C
Nobody knows, nobody sees

   F    G        C
Nobody knows but me

     C
The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?

    G                               F             C
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die"

   C
I spoke not a word although it meant my life

     G                         F             C
But I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife

     F          C           F         C
She walks these hills in a long black veil

     F         C               F          C
She visits my grave where the night winds wail

   C                       F    C
Nobody knows, no, and   nobody sees

   F    G        C
Nobody knows but me

    C
The scaffold was high and eternity neared

     G                      F          C
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear

     C
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans

      G                   F             C
In a long black veil she cries over my bones

    F           C           F          C
She walks these hills in a long black veil

    F          C               F           C
She visits my grave where the night winds wail

   C                       F     C
Nobody knows, no, and   nobody sees

  F      G       C
Nobody knows but me

C                       F     C
Nobody knows, no, and   nobody sees

  F      G       C
Nobody knows but me
