Intro 1
(D major)
Verse 1
(D major) Ten years ago on a cool,
dark night
There was someone (A major) killed
'neath the town (G major) hall light (D major)
There were few at the scene
but they all did agree
That the slayer (A major) who ran
looked a (G major) lot like me
(D major)

Verse 2
The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere (A major) else
then you (G major) won't have to die" (D major)
I spoke not a word although it meant my life
For I had been (A major) in the arms of
my best (G major) friend's wife
(D major)
Verse 3
She walks (G major) these hill (D major) s in a (G major) long black veil (D major)
She (G major) visits my grave (D major) when
the night (G major) winds (D major) wail
Nobody knows, (G major) nobody sees (D major)
(G major) Nobody knows (A major) but me
(D major)
Verse 4
The scaffold is high and eternity is neared
She stood (A major) in the crowd
and shed (G major) not a tear (D major)
But sometimes at night when
the cold wind moans
In a long (A major) black veil she
cries (G major) over my bones
(D major)
Verse 5
She walks (G major) these hills (D major) in a long (G major) black veil (D major)
She (G major) visits my grave (D major) when
the night (G major) winds wail (D major)
Nobody knows, (G major) nobody sees (D major)
(G major) Nobody knows (A major) but me, (D major) (G major) nobody knows (A major) but me
(D major)
