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