[Verse 1]
G C Ten years ago, on a cold dark night D7 C G Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall lights G C There were few at the scene, but they all agreed D7 C G That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me
[Chorus]
C G C G Now she walks these hills in a long black veil C G C G She visits my grave when the night winds wail G C G Nobody knows, nobody sees C D7 G Nobody knows but me
[Verse 2]
G C The scaffold was high and eternity near D7 C G She stood in a crowd and shed not a tear G C But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans D7 C G In a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones
[Chorus]
C G C G She walks these hills in a long black veil C G C G She visits my grave when the night winds wail G C G Nobody knows, nobody sees C D7 G Nobody knows but me
[Verse 3]
G C The judge said son, what is your alibi D7 C G If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die G C I spoke not a word, though it meant my life D7 C G 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 She visits my grave when the night winds wail G C G Nobody knows, nobody sees C D7 G Nobody knows but me G C G Nobody knows, nobody sees C D7 G G Nobody knows but me
