[Verse]
G
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
D C G
There was someone killed, 'neath the town hall lights
Just a few at the scene, but they all did agree
D C G
That the man who ran looked a lot like me
The judge said son, what is your alibi
D C G
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die
Well I spoke not a word, although it meant my life
D C G
I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
[Chorus 1]
C G C G
She walks these hills, in a long black veil
C G C G
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail
C G C D Em
Nobody knows, lord, nobody sees, nobody knows but me
[Verse]
G
Well the scaffold was high, and eternity near
D C G
She stood in the crowd, and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans
D C G
In a long black veil, she cries all over my bones
[Chorus 2]
C G C G
She walks these hills, in a long black veil
C G C G
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail
C G C D Em
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me
G C G C D Em
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me
