[Intro] G [Verse 1]
G
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night

D                                    C          G
There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light

      G
There were few at the scene, but they all did agree

          D                       C        G
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
[Verse 2]
    G
The judge said: Son, what is your alibi?

   D                                 C             G
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die

G
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life

        D                           C        G
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
[Bridge]
    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
[Chorus]
G             C      Em  D/F#
Nobody knows, nobody sees

C      D         G
Nobody knows but me
[Link] G [Verse 3]
        G
The scaffold is high, and eternity's near

    D                      C          G
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear

G
But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans

     D                    C             G
In a long black veil, she cries over my bones
[Bridge]
    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
[Chorus]
G             C      Em  D/F#
Nobody knows, nobody sees

C      D         G
Nobody knows but me

G      Em     C      Em  D/F#
Nobody knows, nobody sees

C      D         G
Nobody knows but me
[Outro]
    G
Ooh ooh.
