Tom: G
G
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night, there was
D C G
someone killed 'neath the Town Hall light. There were
few at the scene, but they all agreed that the
D C G
man who ran looked a lot like me. She
[Chorus]
C G C G
walks these hill in a long black veil. She
C G C G
visits my grave while the night winds wail.
C
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
C D G
Nobody knows but me.
[Verse]
The judge said: Son, what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else, then you don't have to die.
I spoke not a word though it ment my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife.
[Chorus]
C G C G
walks these hill in a long black veil. She
C G C G
visits my grave while the night winds wail.
C
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
C D G
Nobody knows but me.
[Verse]
The scaffold was high and eternity was near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear.
But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan
In a long black veil she cries over my bones.
[Chorus]
C G C G
walks these hill in a long black veil. She
C G C G
visits my grave while the night winds wail.
C
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
C D G
Nobody knows but me.
