[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Ten years ago on a cold dark night
There [B] was someone _ killed [A] neath the town [E] hall light
There were few at the scene but they all agreed
That [B] the _ slayer who ran looked [A] a lot [E] like me _ _ _
_ _ The judge said, son, what is your _ alibi?
If you [B] were somewhere _ else _ [A] then you won't have [E] to die
I spoke, _ not a word, though it meant my life
For I [B] had been _ in the arms of [A] my best _ [E] friend's wife
_ She _ _ [A] walks [E] these hills [A] in a long [E] black veil
_ [A] She _ visits [E] my grave _ [A] when the night _ [E] winds _ wail _ _ _ _
_ _ Nobody knows, _ _
[A] _ _ nobody [E] _ sees, _
[A] _ _ nobody [B] _ knows [E] but me
_ _ The _ sky falls high _ _ and _ eternity _ nears
She [B] stood in the crowd _ [A] and shed not [E] a tear
But _ sometimes at night when the cold wind _ moans
In [B] a long black veil _ she [A] cries for [E] my bones _
She _ _ [A] walks _ [E] these hills [A] in a long _ [E] black veil
She [A] _ visits [E] my grave _ [A] when the night _ [E] winds _ _ _ wail _ _
_ _ Nobody _ knows, _
[A] _ _ nobody [E] _ sees, _
[A] _ _ [Bb] nobody [B] _ knows [E] but me _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ Nobody _ [B] knows _ [E] but me _ _ _ _ _
