As recorded by Status Quo (From the 1968 Album PICTURESQUE MATCHSTICKABLE MESSAGES FROM THE STATUS QUO) [Intro] N.C. D G C A D G C A [Verse 1]
D    C                     G          A
If I see you hiding in the night by a peppercorn tree

D           C              G          A
The tree it moves, lets me see what I wanna see

  Bb                  Eb                 C        F
A poison gaze of your mind is all that's worrying me.
[Verse 2]
D            C              G              A
The pictures that I see are seen by no-one else but me

D            C              G               A
To cause the night to be in sight, a little point of me

  Bb             Eb         C       F   D Bb E A D
I imagine nearly anything I want to see.
[Chorus]
      G        A          D
Black veils of melancholy falling on me

      G          A            D
Black veils keep shadowing my mind

      G          A                 D    F C G D F C G
Black veils that make my mind seem small

Black veils keep shadowing my mind

Black veils that make my mind seem small
[Bridge]
  A                                   C                    D
I see you with my eyes closed getting closer and closer to me

  A                          C
I open my eyes up and you're not there

               D   F C G D
It's all in my mind
[Chorus]

Black veils keep shadowing my mind

      G          A                 D    F C
Black veils that make my mind seem small
