G
Ten years ago on a cool dark night,
D C G
there was someone killed beneath the town hall light

There were few at the scene and they all did agree,

D C G
that the one 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"

I spoke not a word although 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 where the night winds wail
C G
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees,
D C G
nobody knows but me

G
The scaffold was high and eternity neared,
D C G
she stood in the crowd and shed not a tear

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 where the night winds wail
C G
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees,
D C G
nobody knows but me

D C G
nobody knows but me
