D
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
A7
There was someone killed
G D
'neath the town hall light.
D
There were few at the scene
but they all agreed
A7
That the slayer who ran
G D
looked a lot like me.
D
The judge said son
what is your alibi?
A7
If you were somewhere else
G D
then you won't have to die.
D
I spoke not a word
though it meant my life
A7
For I had been in the arms
G D
of my best friend's wife.
G D
She walks these hills
G D
in a long black veil.
G D
She visits my grave
G D
when the night winds wail.
D G D
Nobody knows nobody sees
G A7 D
Nobody knows but me.
D
The scaffold's high and eternity near
A7
She stood in the crowd
G D
and shed not a tear.
D
But sometimes at night
when the cold wind blows,
A7
In a long black veil
G D
she cries o'er my bones.
G D
She walks these hills
G D
in a long black veil.
G D
She visits my grave
G D
when the night winds wail.
D G D
Nobody knows nobody sees
G A7 D
Nobody knows but me.
G A7 D
Nobody knows but me.
G A7 D
Nobody knows but me.
