INTRO:
C-F-C

VERSE 1:

C
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
G7                              F            C
Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall light
C
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
           G7                      F       C
That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me

CHORUS:

      F          C           F          C 
She walks these hills in a long black veil
      F         C              F          C
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
               F      C
Nobody knows, nobody sees
F        G7       C 
Nobody knows but me

HARMONICA SOLO:
c-F-C

VERSE 2:

      C                            
The judge said son, what is your alibi
             G7                       F             C 
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die
C
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
         G7                     F             C
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife


VERSE 3:
      c        
Now the scaffold is high and eternity's near
      G7                     F         C
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
C
But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans
      G7                    F             C
In a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones

CHORUS:

      F          C           F          C 
She walks these hills in a long black veil
      F         C              F          C
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
               F      C
Nobody knows, nobody sees
F        G7       C
Nobody knows but me

What version are you thinking of?
Cash normally played this in G. His voice
was too deep for the key of C.

Right now, the only copy of Long Black Veil I have is off of "Murder," which I believe is the same as most other versions. These chords are the same he's playing. Am I wrong?
