Lady of the Veil

Intro

(Check the levels)

(Aight man let's just pick)

(Yeah from the top)

Verse 1

Moonlight moving

Cross the dusty ridge

Broken bottle in the dry creek bed

Thick cold mud under the low wood bridge

Pre-Chorus

She's coming

I hear the silk

I see the shadow

Chorus

Wait for the lady of the long black veil

Wait for the lady of the long black veil

Searching the timber for a ghost trail

She’s looking for a way out

Verse 2

Twelve years gone

Nobody knew the truth

I sat there silent like a stone wall

Trading my life for my misspent youth

Walking away from the judgment call

Pre-Chorus

She's coming

I hear the silk

I see the shadow

Chorus

Wait for the lady of the long black veil

Wait for the lady of the long black veil

Searching the timber for a ghost trail

She’s looking for a way out

Instrumental

Bridge

Under the pines

Under the rain

Under the soil I call her name

She comes when the owls start to cry

She comes when the rivers run dry

Chorus

Wait for the lady of the long black veil

Wait for the lady of the long black veil

Searching the timber for a ghost trail

She’s looking for a way out

Post-Chorus

Looking for a way

Looking for a way

(Yeah keep that lead going)

Instrumental Break

Verse 3

White lightning strikes

On the cedar bark

Her lantern glows like a dying star

Tearing through the thickest part of dark

I wonder where the heavy secrets are

Pre-Chorus

She's coming

I hear the silk

I see the shadow

Chorus

Wait for the lady of the long black veil

Wait for the lady of the long black veil

Searching the timber for a ghost trail

She’s looking for a way out

Outro

I see her walking

Beneath the hollow oak

Just a ripple in the morning haze

Rising up like a pillar of smoke

Lost in the thicket for the rest of days

(Don't stop now)

(Keep it moving)

(One more time around the horn)
