[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
