G+G
Ten years ago on a cool dark night,
D MajorD 
C majorC G+G
there was someone killed beneath the town hall light
There were few at the scene and they all did agree,
D MajorD C majorC G+G
that the one who ran looked a lot like me
G+G
The judge said "Son, what is your alibi?
D MajorD C majorC G+G
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die"
I spoke not a word although it meant my life,
D MajorD C majorC G+G
I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
She walks these hills in a long black veil;
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
she visits my grave where the night winds wail
C majorC G+G
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees,
D MajorD C majorC G+G
nobody knows but me
G+G
The scaffold was high and eternity neared,
D MajorD C majorC G+G
she stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans,
D MajorD C majorC G+G
in a long black veil she cries over my bones
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
She walks these hills in a long black veil;
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
she visits my grave where the night winds wail
C majorC G+G
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees,
D MajorD C majorC G+G
nobody knows but me
D MajorD C majorC G+G
nobody knows but me
