G Ten years ago on a cool dark night D C G There was someone killed beneath the town hall light G There were few at the scene and they all did agree D C G 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 not a word, although it meant my life I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife Chorus: C G C G She walks these hills in a long black veil C G C G She visits my grave where the night winds wail G C G Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees C G D C G Nobody knows but me The scaffold was high and eternity neared She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans In a long black veil, she cries over my bones Chorus: 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 | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC  D  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
