CTen (x32010@1)years ago on a cold dark night
G7 (320001@1)                          F (133211@1)       C (x32010@1)
Someone was killed 'neath the town hall light
CJust (x32010@1)a few at the scene, and they all did agree
         G7 (320001@1)                     F (133211@1)     C (x32010@1)
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
CThe (x32010@1)judge said "Son, what is your alibi?
            G7 (320001@1)                     F (133211@1)            CIf (x32010@1)you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die"
CI (x32010@1)spoke not a word, although it meant my life
        G7 (320001@1)                   F (133211@1)           C (x32010@1)For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife

Chorus:
     F (133211@1)        C (x32010@1)        F (133211@1)        CShe (x32010@1)walks these hills in a long black veil
    F (133211@1)        C (x32010@1)           F (133211@1)         CShe (x32010@1)visits my grave when the night winds wail
C (x32010@1)     C7 (x32310@1)   F (133211@1)    CNobody (x32010@1)knows, nobody sees
F (133211@1)     G7 (320001@1)       CNobody (x32010@1)knows, but me

CThe (x32010@1)scaffold was high, and eternity near
    G7 (320001@1)                    F (133211@1)         C (x32010@1)       
She stood in the crowd, and shed not a tear
    CBut (x32010@1)sometimes at night when the cold winds moan
      G7 (320001@1)                 F (133211@1)          CIn (x32010@1)a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones
