Could anyone help me with the chord progression for Tim O'Briens version of Long Black Veil on the new CD Fiddler's Green? I think its in G, but probably wrong.

killed beneath the town hall light
There were few at the scene, but they all did agree, that
the man who ran looked alot like me......
She walks these hills, in a long black veil, she visits my
grave when the night winds wail, nobody knows, nobody sees,
nobody knows but me

Unless Tim changed the chord progression those aren`t the correct chords played by all other groups...After the D-7th it comes back to a C chord and then the home chord(G)....The chourse is different also.....

I haven't heard O'Brien's version, but those chords would be a lot different than any version I've heard or played, too. Some changes are not even on the right word.
Yes!..." Willie done spoke da' truff." - You COULD(!?) stay in that "V" then back home - BUT, all "versions" I've heard(including mine!##) - GO back to a quick "IV" - then "home"- If no one is THAT familiar with the song..., they wouldn't know the difference... Just my .02 - and the chord progrssion(s) - Good number - Good pickin'... - Moose. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mandosmiley.gif http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

my mistake on the iv chord, there was no way to show the beat so yes the chords are only close in that they change before the word they are above. i figured that would become clear on playing.
