Verse 1
(D major) Ten years ago, on a cold, night,
there was someone (A major) killed
beneath the town (G major) hall (D major) lights.
There were few who saw,
but they all agreed
That the slayer (A major) who ran
looked a (G major) lot like me (D major)
The judge said, son,
what is your alibi?
If you were some (A major) where else,
then (G major) you won't have to (D major) die.
I spoke not a word,
though it meant my life,
Oh, I'd (A major) been in the arms
of my best (G major) friend's (D major) wife.
She walks (G major) these hills
(D major) in a (G major) long black veil. (D major)
She visits (G major) my grave (D major)
when the (G major) night winds wail. (D major)
Nobody knows, (D minor) Lord,
(G major) nobody sees (D major)
Nobody (G major) knows (A major) but (D major) me
The sky goes high and eternity's near
She stood (A major) in the crowd
and shed (G major) not a (D major) tear
but sometimes at night
when the cold winds moan
in a (A major) long black veil
she cries (G major) all night (D major) long
she walks (G major) these hills
(D major) (G major)
