Verse 1
(C major)
(C major) Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
(G major) Someone was killed,
'neath the (F major) town hall light (C major)
There were few at the scene,
but they all agreed
That the (G major) slayer who ran, looked a (F major) lot like me (C major)
Chorus 1
Now she (F major) walks these (C major) hills in a long (F major) black veil (C major)
She visits (F major) my grave (C major)
when the (F major) night winds (C major) wail
Nobody knows, (F major) nobody sees (C major)
(F major) Nobody knows (G major) but me (C major)

Verse 2
The scaffold (C major) is high and eternity's near
(G major) She stood in the crowd
and (F major) shed not a tear (C major)
But sometimes at night,
when the north wind blows
In a (G major) long black veil, she cries (F major) aver my bones (C major)
Chorus 2
She (F major) walks these (C major) hills in a (F major) long black veil (C major)
She visits (F major) my grave (C major)
when the (F major) night winds (C major) wail
Nobody knows, (F major) nobody sees (C major)
(F major) Nobody knows (G major) but me (C major)
Verse 3
The judge (C major) said son, what is your alibi
If you were (G major) somewhere else,
then (F major) you won't have to die (C major)
I spoke not a word, thou it meant my life
I'd (G major) been in the arms
of my (F major) best friend's (C major) wife
Chorus 3
She (F major) walks these (C major) hills in a long (F major) black veil (C major)
She visits (F major) my grave (C major)
when the (F major) night winds (C major) wail
Nobody knows, (F major) nobody sees (C major)
(F major) Nobody knows (G major) but (C major) me
Nobody knows, (F major) nobody sees (C major)
(F major) Nobody knows (G major) but (C major) me
