Ten years ago on a cold dark night
D7 C G
Someone was killed 'neath the town hall light
C
There were few at the scene but they all agreed
D7 C G
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
G C
The judge said son what is your alibi
D7 C G
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die
C
I spoke not a word al-tho' it meant my life
D7 C G
For I'd 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
C G
Nobody knows nobody sees
C D7 G C G
Nobody knows but me
G C
The scaffold is high and eternity's near
D7 C G
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
C
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
D7 C G
In a long black veil she cries o'er 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
C G
Nobody knows nobody sees
C D7 G C G
Nobody knows but me
