[Verse]
                             A    
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
                          G             D    
Someone was killed 'neath the town hall light
D                                              
There were few at the scene but they all agreed
         A                       G        D 
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
    D                                
The judge said son what is your alibi
            A                   G                 D  
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die
  D                                     
I spoke not a word thou it meant my life
        A                   G                D   
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
           G           D          G          D   
Chorus She walks these hills in a long black veil


[Chorus]
    G         D              G     D         
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
             G        D   
Nobody knows ■ nobody sees
G A            A7  D 
■ Nobody knows but me

[Verse]
D                                          
Oh the scaffold is high and eternity's near
A                      G        D         
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
    D                                      
But late at night when the north wind blows
Asus4 A    Asus4      G               D       
In a  long black veil she cries ov're my bones
G D
