Key:
G Ten years ago on a cold dark nightD C A man was killed ‘neath the townG hall lightG There were few at the scene, but they all did agreeD C That the man who ran looked a lotG like me The judge said son what is your alibi If you were somewhere else then you won’t have to die I spoke not a word though it meant my life For I’d been in the arms of my best friend’s wifeContinues after the adChorusC G C She walks these hills in a longG black veilC G C And visits my grave when theG night winds wailC G Nobody knows, nobody seesC D G Nobody knows but me The scaffold was high and eternity near She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear But sometimes at night when the cold wind blows In a long black veil she cries over my bones ChorusC G C She walks these hills in a longG black veilC G C And visits my grave when theG night winds wailC G Nobody knows, nobody seesC D G Nobody knows but me
