G There were few were at the scene, but they all agreed, 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 had been in the arms of my best friend's wife. CHORUS: 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. G C G C D G Nobody knows, nobody sees. Nobody knows, but me. VERSE 3: G The scaffold is high, and eternity near, D C G she stood in the crowd and shed not a tear. G But sometimes at night when the cold wind blows, D C G in a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones. CHORUS: 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. G C G C D G Nobody knows, nobody sees..nobody knows, but me. OUTRO: C D G C D G Nobody knows but me...nobody knows but me. (Fade.)
