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

Verse 2
The (G major) judge said, "son, what is your alibi?"
"If you were (D major) somewhere else,
then (C major) you won't have to die" (G major)
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
I had (D major) been in the arms of my (C major) best friend's (G major) wife
Chorus 1
She (C major) walks these (G major) hills in a (C major) long black (G major) veil
She (C major) visits my (G major) grave
where the (C major) night winds (G major) wail
Nobody knows, no, and (C major) nobody sees (G major)
(C major) Nobody knows (G major) (D major) but (C major) me
(G major) (G major)
Verse 3
The (G major) scaffold was high and eternity neared
She (D major) stood in the crowd and (C major) shed not a tear (G major)
But sometimes at night
when the cold wind moans
In a (D major) long black veil, she (C major) cries over my (G major) bones
Chorus 2
She (C major) walks these (G major) hills in a (C major) long black (G major) veil
She (C major) visits my (G major) grave
where the (C major) night winds (G major) wail
Nobody knows, no, and (C major) nobody sees (G major)
(C major) Nobody knows (G major) (D major) but (C major) me
(G major) (G major) (G major)
