Ten years ago on a cold dark night
          B                         Am        E
There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light.
There were few at the scene and they all did agree
         B                    Am       E
That the man who ran looked a lot like me.

The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?
            B                       Am            E
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die.
I said not a word though it meant my life,
      B                      Am            E
I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife.

CHORUS:
Am              E     Am              E
She walks these hills in a long black veil.
Am            E     Am                   E
She visits my grave when the night winds wail.
                      Am     E
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees;
       B         Am
nobody knows but me.

The scaffold was high and eternity near
    B                           Am
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
E
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
     B                   Am            E
In a long black veil she cries over my bones.

CHORUS:She walks...
