Intro: G G6 (play throughout on G)
G
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night,
D C G6
Someone was killed 'neath the town hall light,
G
There were few at the scene, but they all agree,
Em7 D C G6
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me.
G
The judge said: Son, what is your alibi?
D C G
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die,
G
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life,
D C G6
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife.
C G C G
She walks these hills in a long black veil,
C G C G6
She visits my grave when the night winds wail,
G C Em Gmaj7
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
C D G G6
Nobody knows but me.
Bb
The scaffold is high, and eternity's near,
F Eb Eb
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear,
Eb
But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans,
F Eb Bb
In a long black veil, she cries over my bones.
C G C G
She walks these hills in a long black veil,
C G C G6
She visits my grave when the night winds wail,
G C Em Bm G
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
C D G G6
Nobody knows but me,
G Em C Em Bm C
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
G D G G6
Nobody knows but me,
G
Ooh ooh.
