G Ten years ago on a cold dark night D C G A man was killed 'neath the town hall light G There were few at the scene, but they all did agree D C G That the man who ran looked a lot like me
The judge said son what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die
I spoke not a word though it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
Chorus
C G C G She walks these hills in a long black veil C G C G And visits my grave when the night winds wail C G Nobody knows, nobody sees C D G Nobody knows but me
The scaffold was high and eternity near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind blows
In a long black veil she cries over my bones
Chorus
C G C G She walks these hills in a long black veil C G C G And visits my grave when the night winds wail C G Nobody knows, nobody sees C D G Nobody knows but me
