[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
G
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
D C G
There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light
G
There were few at the scene, but they all did agree
D C G
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me

[Verse 2]
G
The judge said: Son, what is your alibi?
D C G
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die
G
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
D C G
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife

[Bridge]
C G C G
She walks these hills in a long black veil
C G C G
She visits my grave when the night winds wail

[Chorus]
G C Em D/F#
Nobody knows, nobody sees
C D G
Nobody knows but me

[Link]
G

[Verse 3]
G
The scaffold is high, and eternity's near
D C G
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
G
But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans
D C G
In a long black veil, she cries over my bones

[Bridge]
C G C G
She walks these hills in a long black veil
C G C G
She visits my grave when the night winds wail

[Chorus]
G C Em D/F#
Nobody knows, nobody sees
C D G
Nobody knows but me
G Em C Em D/F#
Nobody knows, nobody sees
