Capo 1st Fret!!!!!

Verse 1:
E MajorE
Ten years ago on a cold dark night,
B7B7              A augmentedA     E MajorE
someone was killed by the town hall lights.
E MajorE
Few were at the scene, but they all agreed,
B7B7                A augmentedA    E MajorE
that the slayer who ran looked a lot like me.

Chorus:
A augmentedA        E MajorE   A augmentedA        E MajorE
She walks these hills, in a long black veil.
A augmentedA       E MajorE   A augmentedA          E MajorE
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail.
       A augmentedA   E MajorE   A augmentedA   B7B7     E MajorE
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows, but me

Verse 2:
E MajorE
The Judge said son, what is your alibi,
A augmentedA              B7B7         E MajorE
if you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die.
E MajorE
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life,
A augmentedA               B7B7      E MajorE
for i'd been in the arms of my best friends wife.

Chorus:
A augmentedA        E MajorE   A augmentedA        E MajorE
She walks these hills, in a long black veil.
A augmentedA       E MajorE   A augmentedA          E MajorE
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail.
       A augmentedA   E MajorE   A augmentedA   B7B7     E MajorE
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows, but me

Verse 3:
E MajorE
Now the scaffold is high, and eternity's near.
A augmentedA            B7B7       E MajorE
She stood in the crowd, and shed not a tear.
E MajorE
But some times at night, when the cold wind moans
A augmentedA           B7B7        E MajorE
In a long black veil, she cries over my bones

Chorus:
A augmentedA        E MajorE   A augmentedA        E MajorE
She walks these hills, in a long black veil.
A augmentedA          E MajorE   A augmentedA          E MajorE
When the cold winds blow, and the night winds wail.
        A augmentedA   E MajorE
Nobody knows, nobody sees.
A augmentedA   B7B7     E MajorE
Nobody knows, but me.
