Tom: A
A
Ten years ago on a cool dark night
E D A
There was someone killed beneath the town hall light
A
There were few at the scene and they all did agree
E D A
That the man who ran looked a lot like me
[Verse 2]
A
The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?
E D A
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die"
A
I spoke not a word although it meant my life
E D A
I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife
[Chorus]
D A D A
She walks these hills in a long black veil
D A D A
She visits my grave where the night winds wail
A D A
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees
D E A
Nobody knows but me
[Verse 3]
A
The scaffold was high and eternity neared
E D A
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
A
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
E D A
In a long black veil she cries over my bones
[Chorus]
D A D A
She walks these hills in a long black veil
D A D A
She visits my grave where the night winds wail
A D A
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees
D E A
Nobody knows but me
[Chorus]
D A D A
She walks these hills in a long black veil
D A D A
She visits my grave where the night winds wail
A D A
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees
D E A
Nobody knows but me
[Outro]
A D A
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees
D E A
Nobody knows but me
