E There were few were at the scene, but they all agreed, B A E that the slayer who ran looked a lot like me. #2. E The judge said, 'Son, what is your alibi? B A E If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die.' E I spoke not a word though it meant my life, B A E for I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife. CHORUS: A E A E She walks these hills, in a long black veil. A E A E She visits my grave, when the night winds wail. E A E A B E Nobody knows, nobody sees..nobody knows, but me. #3. E The scaffold is high, and eternity nears.. B A E she stood in the crowd and shed not a tear. E But sometimes at night when the cold wind blows, B A E in a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones. CHORUS: A E A E She walks these hills, in a long black veil. A E A E She visits my grave, when the night winds wail. E A E A B E Nobody knows, nobody sees..nobody knows, but me. OUTRO: A B E A B E Nobody knows but me...nobody knows but me. (Fade.) A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
