Ten years ago on a cold dark night
D C G
There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light
G
There were few at the scene and they all did agree
D C G
That the man who ran looked a lot like me.
G
The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?
D C G
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die"
G
I said not a word though it meant my life,
D C G
I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife.
C G C G
She walks these hills in a long black veil.
C G C G
She visits my grave when the night winds wail.
G C G D C
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees; nobody knows but me.
G
The scaffold was high and eternity near
D C G
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
G
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
D C G
In a long black veil she cries over my bones.
C G C G
She walks these hills in a long black veil.
C G C G
She visits my grave when the night winds wail.
G C G C
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees; nobody knows but me.
