[Verse 1] *
G Ten years ago on a cool dark night D C G There was someone killed beneath the town hall light G There were few at the scene and they all did agree D C G That the man 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 although it meant my life D C G I had 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 where the night winds wail G C G Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees C D C G Nobody knows but me
[Verse 3]
G The scaffold was high and eternity neared 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
[Chorus]
C G C G She walks these hills in a long black veil C G C G She visits my grave where the night winds wail G C G Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees C D C G Nobody knows but me
