Ten years ago, on a cold, dark night, 
D7                            C         G     
Someone was killed 'neath the town hall light 
G                                                 
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed, 
         D7                       C        G  
That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me 
G   C           G          C          G     
She walks these hills in a long black veil, 
G   C         G              C           G     
She visits my grave when the night winds wail. 
G             C      G     
Nobody knows, nobody sees, 
C      D7        G                
Nobody knows but me 2 3 4 1 2 3 4

The judge said "Son, what is your alibi?", 
             D7                       C             G    
"If you were someplace else, then you won't have to die" 
G                                            
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life, 
        D7                     C             G    
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife 
G   C           G          C          G     
She walks these hills in a long black veil,

The scaffold was high and eternity near 
    D7                     C          G    
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear 
G                                               
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans 
     D7                   C             G     
In a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones
