Tabbed By: Emrldeyzs
Live Ft David Rawlings

C
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
G7                             F          C
Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
         G7                    F        C
That the man who ran, looked a lot like me

         C
Well the judge said son, what is your alibi
             G7                  F                 C
If you were somewhere else, then you don't have to die
I spoke not a word, al-tho' it meant my life
         G7                    F             C
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife

CHORUS:

     F          C           F          C
She walks these hills in a long black veil
     F         C              F          C
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
               F      C
Nobody knows, nobody sees
F        G7       C  F C
Nobody knows but me


VERSE 3:
      C
The scaffold is high and eternity's near
      G7                     F          C
She stands in the crowd and sheds not a tear
But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans
     G7                    F             C
In a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones

CHORUS:

     F          C           F          C
She walks these hills in a long black veil
     F         C              F          C
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
               F      C
Nobody knows, nobody sees
F        G7       C  F C
Nobody knows but me 
               F      C
Nobody knows, nobody sees
F        G7         C  
Nobody knows but me

Right on, perfect. I'd still have to say the
best version of this song is the Cash one.
