Ten years ago on a cold dark night  
  G7                           F         C 
Someone was killed beneath the town hall light  
  
There were few at the scene but they all agreed  
         G7                      F        C 
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me

She walks these hills   
     F          C 
In a long black veil  
    F         C 
She visits my grave   
         F           C 
When the night winds wail  
             F      C 
Nobody knows nobody sees   
F      G7        C 
Nobody knows but me

The judge said son what is your alibi  
       G7                       F                 C 
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die  
  
I spoke not a word though it meant my life  
          G7                     F             C 
For I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife  
[Estribillo]
    F           C 
She walks these hills   
     F          C 
In a long black veil  
    F         C 
She visits my grave  
         F           C 
When the night winds wail  
             F      C 
Nobody knows nobody sees  
F      G7        C 
Nobody knows but me

The scaffold's high and eternity near  
    G7                     F          C 
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear   
  
But sometimes at night when the cold wind blows  
     G7                  F             C 
In a long black veil she cries over my bones
[Estribillo]

She walks these hills

In a long black veil

She visits my grave  
         F           C 
When the night winds wail  
             F      C 
Nobody knows nobody sees  
F      G7        C 
Nobody knows but me
