Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
D
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night,
          A                         G         D
there was someone killed 'neath the town hall light.
    D
The few at scene, where wrong as could be
         A                       G            D
'caus the man they acused that night was with me.

Verse 2:
    D
But what could he do, and what could he say
        A                   G           D
For the one stolen night he just had to pay
   D
He couldn't tell a soul, that I was out with him
          A               G                  D
For the whole town knew I belong to his best friend.

Chorus:
    G            D            G          D
Now I walk these hills, in my long black veil.
    G         D               G           D
I visits his grave, when the night winds wail.
D             G      D     G      A          D
Nobody knows, nobody sees..nobody knows, but me.

Verse 3:
    D
The scaffold was high, I knew his dead was near
    A                      G          D
I stood in the crowd and shed unseen tears.
    D
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moarns,
   A                      G         D
in my long black veil, I rebore his bones.

Chorus:
    G            D            G          D
Now I walk these hills, in my long black veil.
    G         D               G           D
I visits his grave, when the night winds wail.
D             G      D     G      A          D
Nobody knows, nobody sees..nobody knows, but me.
