AGD
[Verse 1]
D
Ten years ago on a cold dark night,
A7GD
Someone was killed 'neath the Town Hall light
D
The people who saw they all agreed
A7GD
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me.
[Verse 2]
D
The judge said, "son, what is your alibi?
A7GD
If you were somewheres else, then you won't have to die".
D
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life,
A7GD
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife.
[Chorus]
GDGD
She walks these hills in a long black veil,
GDGD
Visits my grave when the night winds wail,
D
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
GA7D
Nobody knows, but me.
[Verse 4]
D
The scaffold is high, eternity near,
A7GD
She stands in the crowd, she sheds not a tear,
D
But sometimes at night, when the cold winds moan,
A7GD
In a long black veil she cries o'er my bones.
[Chorus]
GDGD
She walks these hills in a long black veil,
GDGD
Visits my grave when the night winds wail,
D
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
GA7D
Nobody knows, but me.
