[Verse 1]

D
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night,
          A                         D                D   (Lick 1)
there was someone killed 'neath the town hall light.
D
There were few were at the scene, but they all agreed,
         A                       D            D   (Lick 2)
that the stranger who ran looked a lot like me.

[Chorus]

   G           D           G          D    (Lick 3)
She walks these hills, in a long black veil.
    G         D               A            D   (Lick 2)
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail.  

[Verse 2]

D
The judge said, 'Son, what is your alibi?
            A                       D                  D   (Lick 2)
If you were somewhere else well you won't have to die.'
D
I spoke not a word though it meant my life,
          A                      D                 D   (Lick 2)
for I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife.

[Chorus]

    G           D           G          D   (Lick 3)
She walks these hills, in a long black veil.
    G         D               A           D   (Lick 2)
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail.
D             G      D     G      A          D   (Lick 3)
Nobody knows, nobody sees..nobody knows, but me.
D             G      D     G      A          D   (Lick 3)
Nobody knows, nobody sees..nobody knows, but me.

[Verse 3]

D
The scaffold is high, and eternitys near..
    A                      D              D   (Lick 2)
she stood in the crowd and shed not a tear.
D
But sometimes at night when the cold wind blows,
     A                    D                  D   (Lick 2)
in a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones.

[Chorus]

    G           D           G          D   (Lick 3)
She walks these hills, in a long black veil.
    G         D               A           D   (Lick 2)
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail.
D             G      D     G      A          D   (Lick 3)
Nobody knows, nobody sees..nobody knows, but me.

[Outro]
G      A         D    G      A         D   (Lick 3)
Nobody knows but me...nobody knows but me.         (Fade.)
