A
Ten years ago on a cool dark night
          E                          D         A
There was someone killed beneath the town hall light
           A
There were few at the scene and they all did agree
         E                    D        A
That the man who ran looked a lot like me


[Verse 2]
    A
The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?
            E                   D                 A
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die"
  A
I spoke not a word although it meant my life
      E                      D             A
I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife


[Chorus]
    D           A          D          A
She walks these hills in a long black veil
    D         A               D           A
She visits my grave where the night winds wail
A                       D        A
  Nobody knows, no, and   nobody sees
D        E         A
  Nobody knows but me


[Verse 3]
    A
The scaffold was high and eternity neared
    E                      D          A
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
    A
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
     E                   D             A
In a long black veil she cries over my bones


[Chorus]
    D           A          D          A
She walks these hills in a long black veil
    D         A               D           A
She visits my grave where the night winds wail
A                       D        A
  Nobody knows, no, and   nobody sees
D        E         A
  Nobody knows but me


[Chorus]
    D           A          D          A
She walks these hills in a long black veil
    D         A               D           A
She visits my grave where the night winds wail
A                       D        A
  Nobody knows, no, and   nobody sees
D        E         A
  Nobody knows but me


[Outro]
A                       D        A
  Nobody knows, no, and   nobody sees
D        E         A
  Nobody knows but me
