[G]
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night, there was someone killed,
[C] Neat the town [G] hall light, just a few at the scene,
And they all did agree, that [D] the man who ran,
[C] Looked a lot [G] like me.
Well the judge said, son, what's your alibi,
If you're somewhere [D]
else, [C] well you don't have [G] to die.
And I spoke a naughty word, though it meant my life,
I'd [D] been in the arms of [C] my best [G] friend's wife.
[C] She walks [G] these hills, [C] in a long black [G] veil,
[C] She visits my [G] grave, when the [C] night winds wail.
Nobody knows, [C] Lord, nobody [G] sees,
[C] nobody [D] knows but me.
[Em]
[G] Well the scaffold's high, and eternity nears,
And she stands in the crowd, [C] and sheds [G] not a tear,
But sometimes at night, well the cold wind moans,
[D] In a long black veil, [C] she cries all over my [G] bones.
She [C] walks [G] these hills, [C] in a long [G] black veil,
[C] She visits my [G]
grave, [C] when the night winds [G]
wail.
Nobody knows, Lord, [C] nobody [G]
sees, [C] nobody [D]
knows but [C] me.
[G] Nobody [C]
[G] [C]
[D] knows [C] but me.
