Play the figure  : 

Ten years ago, on a cold, dark night    (fig.1)
Someone was killed beneath the town hall light  (fig.2)
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed   (fig.1)              
That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me    (fig.2) 

She walks these hills in a Long Black Veil   (fig.3)
She visits my grave when the night winds wail (fig.3)
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me (fig.4)

The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi? (fig.1)
If you were somewhere else, Then you won't have to die. (fig.2)
Well, I said not a word, though it meant my life (fig.1)
For I'd been in the arms, of my best friend's wife (fig.2)

She walks these hills in a Long Black Veil   (fig.3)
She visits my grave when the night winds wail (fig.3)
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me (fig.4)

Oh now, the scaffold was high, eternity is near (fig.1)
She stood in the crowd, and shed not a tear (fig.2)

Oh, sometimes at night, when the cold winds blow (fig.1)
In a Long Black Veil she stands over my bones (fig.2) 

She walks these hills in a Long Black Veil   (fig.3)
She visits my grave when the night winds wail (fig.3)
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me (fig.4)

She walks these hills in a Long Black Veil   (fig.3)
She visits my grave when the night winds wail (fig.3)
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me (fig.4) 
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me (fig.4)

Nobody knows but me.... (fig.4)

Nobody knows... 
Nobody knows... 
Nobody knows... but me. 

When dave say "the lovely ladies" the guitar play like this for the rest of the song:

"The lovely ladies."
