Lyrics & chords
[Verse 1] [D]Ten years ago, on a cold, night, there was [A]someone killed beneath the [G]town hall [D]lights. There were few who saw, but they all agreed That the [A]slayer who ran looked a [G]lot like [D]me The judge said, son, what is your alibi? If you were [A]somewhere else, then [G]you won't have to [D]die. I spoke not a word, though it meant my life, Oh, I'd [A]been in the arms of my [G]best friend's [D]wife. She [G]walks these hills [D]in a [G]long black [D]veil. She [G]visits my [D]grave when the [G]night winds [D]wail. Nobody [Dm]knows, Lord, [G]nobody [D]sees [G]Nobody [A]knows but [D]me The sky goes high and eternity's near She [A]stood in the crowd and [G]shed not a [D]tear but sometimes at night when the cold winds moan in a [A]long black veil she [G]cries all [D]night long she [G]walks these hills [D][G]
