Ten years ago on a cold dark night
G F C
Someone was shot 'neath the town hall light
C Csus4 C Csus4 C
The people who saw, well they all agreed
G F C Csus4 C
That the slayer that ran looked a lot like me
The judge said "Son, what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else you won't have to die"
I spoke not a word though it meant my life
I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife
F C F C
She walks these hills in a long black veil
F C F C
Visits my grave when the night winds wail
C F C
Nobody knows and nobody sees
F G C Csus4 C
Nobody knows but me

The scaffold was high, eternity near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
In a long black veil she shivers over my bones
She walks these hills in a long black veil
Visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
