Verse 1:
D
Ten years ago, on a cold, dark night
          A                         G         D
There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light
           D
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
         A                       G        D
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
 
 
Verse 2:
    D
The judge said, "Son what is your alibi?
             A                   G                 D
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die"
  D
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
          A                      G             D
For I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife
Chorus:
    G           D          G          D
She walks these hills in a long black veil
    G         D              G           D
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
D             G        D
Nobody knows
nobody sees
G      A         D
Nobody knows but me
 
 
Verse 3:
    D
The scaffold was high and eternity near
    A                      G          D
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
    D
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
     A                    G           D
In a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones
 
 
Chorus:
    G           D          G          D
She walks these hills in a long black veil
    G         D              G           D
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
D             G        D
Nobody knows
nobody sees
G      A       D
Nobody knows but me
 
 
Refrain:
G      A         D
Nobody knows but me
G      A         D
Nobody knows but me
