                C       D   Em
Every night the dream's the same

             C     D   G
Every time I speak her name

                Em   D    C
Black and shiny eyes appear

                Am
In a long white veil

                C     D   Em
If only I could touch her skin

                C   D    G
If only I could lie within

                Em  D   C
If only I could see her face

                      Am
'neath the long white veil

           C
Long white veil!

C              G
I married her, I carried her

D                Em
On the very same day I buried her

C               G           D
In the cemetery plot by her mother

C                       G              D
Though shе never gave a thought to hеr mother

C
But she looked so pale

                   Dadd4
In that long white veil

           Am   D      
Long white veil

           Am   D
Long white veil

           Am   D
Long white veil

           C    G
Long white veil!

                      C  D    Em
And how when she fell in with me

                     C  D  G   
I stole her from the canneries

                     Em  D  C
We'd pitch along the harborside

                   Am
In our wind-filled sails

                     C      D  Em
But now when all the lights go dim

                 C     D      G
Something starts its crawling in

                Em   D   C
All I can do is hush and wait

                    Am
For that long white veil

           C
Long white veil!

C              G
I married her, I carried her

D                Em
On the very same day I ferried her

C                         G          D
'Cross the channel in the cold, dark water

C                        G         D
And in the evening how a chill had caught her

C
And she looked so pale

              Dadd4
In our lateen sails

                  Am   D      
Like a long white veil

           Am   D
Long white veil

           Am   D
Long white veil

           C    G
Long white veil!
