Verse 1:
D MajorD
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night,
     A augmentedA             G+G     D MajorD
there was someone killed 'neath the town hall light.
  D MajorD
The few at scene, where wrong as could be
     A augmentedA            G+G      D MajorD
'caus the man they acused that night was with me.

Verse 2:
  D MajorD
But what could he do, and what could he say
    A augmentedA          G+G      D MajorD
For the one stolen night he just had to pay
  D MajorD
He couldn't tell a soul, that I was out with him
     A augmentedA        G+G         D MajorD
For the whole town knew I belong to his best friend.

Chorus:
  G+G      D MajorD      G+G     D MajorD
Now I walk these hills, in my long black veil.
  G+G     D MajorD        G+G      D MajorD
I visits his grave, when the night winds wail.
D MajorD       G+G   D MajorD   G+G   A augmentedA     D MajorD
Nobody knows, nobody sees..nobody knows, but me.

Verse 3:
  D MajorD
The scaffold was high, I knew his dead was near
  A augmentedA           G+G     D MajorD
I stood in the crowd and shed unseen tears.
  D MajorD
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moarns,
  A augmentedA           G+G     D MajorD
in my long black veil, I rebore his bones.

Chorus:
  G+G      D MajorD      G+G     D MajorD
Now I walk these hills, in my long black veil.
  G+G     D MajorD        G+G      D MajorD
I visits his grave, when the night winds wail.
D MajorD       G+G   D MajorD   G+G   A augmentedA     D MajorD
Nobody knows, nobody sees..nobody knows, but me.
