[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
