Standard (EADGBE)
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night,
there was someone killed 'neath the town hall light.
There were few were at the scene, but they all agreed,
that the slayer 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 not a word though it meant my life,
for I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife.
Chorus
She walks these hills, in a long black veil.
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail.
Nobody knows, nobody sees..nobody knows, but me.
The scaffold is high, and eternity nears..
she stood in the crowd and shed not a tear.
But sometimes at night when the cold wind blows,
in a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones.
Chorus
She walks these hills, in a long black veil.
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail.
Nobody knows, nobody sees..nobody knows, but me.
Outro
Nobody knows but me...nobody knows but me. (Fade.)
