_ _ Ten years ago _ on a cold dark night [A] there was someone _ killed
[G] near the town _ [D] hall light. _ _ _ _
The few at the scene _ were wrong as could be
[A] cause the man they _ accused [G] that night was [D]
with me. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ But what could he do _ and what could he say
for [A] that one stolen night he [G] _
just had [D] to pay. _
_ He _ _ _ couldn't tell a soul _ that I was out with him
for [A] the whole town knew I [G]
belonged to his [D] best friend.
_ _ _ Now [G] I walk [D] these hills in my [G] long [D] black veil
[G] I visit [D] his grave _ when the [G] night _ [D] winds _ _ _ _ wave. _ _
Nobody _ knows, _
_ [G] _ _ _ [D] nobody _ sees, [G] _ _
nobody [A] _ _ knows [D] but me. _ _ _
The _ _ scaffold was high, _ I knew his death was near
[A] I stood in the crowd [G] and shed [D] unseen _ tears. _ _ _
But sometimes at night when the cold wind _ moans
[A] in my long black veil _ [G] I weep for [D]
his bones. _ _ _
[G] I walk [D] these hills [G] in my long [D] black veil
[G] I visit [D] his grave _ when the [G] night [D] winds _ wave. _ _ _
_ _ _ Nobody knows, _ _ [G] _ _
nobody [D] _ _ sees, [G] _
_ _ [A] nobody _ knows [D] but me. _ _ _
