[Verse 1]
C Ten years ago, on a cold dark night, G F C there was someone killed 'neath the town hall light. C There were few at the scene, but they all agreed G F C that the man who ran looked a lot like me.
[Chorus]
F C F C She walks these hills in a long black veil. F C F C She visits my grave while the night wind wails. C F C F G C Nobody knows, Nobody sees, Nobody knows but me.
[Verse 2]
C The judge said "Son, what is your alibi? G F C If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die." C Well, I said not a word, though it meant my life G F C For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife.
[Chorus]
F C F C She walks these hills in a long black veil. F C F C She visits my grave while the night wind wails. C F C F G C Nobody knows, Nobody sees, Nobody knows but me.
[Verse 3]
C The scaffold was high, and eternity neared G F C She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear. C But sometimes at night, when the cold wind blows G F C In a long black veil, she cries over my bones.
[Chorus]
F C F C She walks these hills in a long black veil. F C F C She visits my grave while the night wind wails. C F C F G C Nobody knows, Nobody sees, Nobody knows but me.
