          It was ten years ago on a cold dark night
          C               D                                            C             G
          There was someone killed beneath the town hall light
          There were few at the scene, and they all did agree
          That the man who ran looked a lot like me

          The judge said, son, what is your alibi
          If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die
          I spoke no word, though it meant my life
          I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife

                           She walks these hills in a long black veil
                                 C              G                         C                 G     C
                           She visits my grave where the night winds wail
                         G                                    C
                           Nobody knows, oh and nobody sees
                         G            D                 C
                           Nobody knows, but me~e~e
                                                                              G C   G C

          The scaffold was high, and eternity near
          She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
          But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan
          In a long black veil she cries over my bones

                           She walks these hills in a long black veil
                           She visits my grave where the night winds wail
                           Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees
                           Nobody knows, but me~e~e...
