Neophyte here. How do I find the melody for, for example, Long Black Veil?

It's pretty easy, Sally. In the search box in the upper-right corner of this page and most others, put a distinctive word or phrase from the song, and click the search button. for phrases, it's best to put the words in square brackets, as in [black veil]. Without the brackets, you'll get a list of all songs that include both words, whether or not they're in order. If there is a tune available, at the bottom of the page of lyrics you will find a link that says "click here to play." Your computer will download the MIDI file and play it - if you have a sound card on your computer.
I already did the search for you. If you want to find the song, click here. If you want to download the MIDI file for later use, right-click on that "click here to play" link and you'll have the option to save the "target" MIDI file on your hard drive. Once you do it a few times, you won't believe how easy it is. Have fun - and welcome to our forum.
