Intro 1

Verse 1
C 
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
G 
There was someone killed
F 
C 
near the town hall lights
There were few at the scene
but they all agreed
G 
C 
G 
That the slayer who ran
F 
C 
looked a lot like me
The judge said, what's your alibi?
G 
If you were somewhere else,
F 
C 
then you won't have to die
I spoke not a word,
though it meant my life
G 
For I had been in the arms
F 
C 
of my best friend's wife
F 
C 
She walks these hills
F 
C 
in a long black veil
F 
C 
She visits my grave
F 
C 
when the night winds wail
F 
C 
G 
Nobody knows, nobody sees
C 
Nobody knows but me
The scaffold was high
and eternity near
G 
She stood in the crowd
F 
C 
and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night,
when the cold wind moans
G 
In a long black veil,
F 
C 
she cries on my bones
F 
C 
She walks these hills,
F 
in a long black veil
C 
F 
C 
She visits my grave
F 
C 
when the night winds wail
F 
Nobody knows, nobody sees
G 
C 
Nobody knows but me
F 
G 
C 
Nobody knows but me
F 
G 
C 
Nobody knows of me
