Ten years ago, on [G] a cold and dark night,
[D] someone was killed beneath [C] that town hall [G] light.
Thank you.
Well, there were a few at the scene.
And they all did agree,
[D] that man that ran looked [C] a lot [G] like me.
She [C] walks [G] these hills [C] in a long [G] black veil.
She [C] presents the sky [G] with grace when [C] the night is [G] away.
Nobody [C]
[G] can see [C] [D]
[C] me.
[G]
Well, the judge said, son, what is your alibi?
[D] Well, if you were somewhere else, [C] then you don't [G] have to die.
But I spoke an odd word, although it meant my life.
[D] Well, I'd been in the art.

[C] She walks [G] these hills [C] in a long black [G] veil.

She presents the sky with grace [C] when the night [G] is away.
Nobody knows [C] me.

Nobody [G] knows but [C] me.
Nobody knows me.

Well, the scaffold was high.
And the burning tree was near.
[D]
She stirred in the crowd.
She [C] did not [G] show the tear.
But then, tonight, in a cold and [Bm] dark [D] night, in a long black veil,
a [C] sheep cries all over [G] my home.
[C] She walks [G] these hills [C] in a long [G] black veil.
