[Intro]
D A D A
[Verse 1]
D Ten years ago on a cold dark night A G D Someone was killed neath the town hall light D There were few at the scene but they all agreed A G D That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
[Verse 2]
D The judge he said son what is your alibi A G D If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die D I spoke not a word although it meant my life A G D For I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife
[Chorus]
G D G D She walks these hills in a long black veil G D G D She visits my grave when the night winds wail G D G A D Nobody knows nobody sees nobody knows but me
[Harmonica Solo]
Am D Am D
[Verse 3]
D A The scaffold was high and eternity was near G D She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear A But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans G D In the long black veil she cries o'er my bones
[Chorus]
G D G D Yes she walks these hills in a long black veil G D G D She visits my grave when the night winds wail G D G A D Nobody knows nobody sees nobody knows but me
[Outro]
Am D Am D
