[Gm] [C]
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night, [G] someone was killed,
[F] near the town [C] hall light.
There were a few at the scene, but they all agreed,
[G] that the slayer who ran [F] it, was down there with me.
[C] The judge said, son, what is your alibi?
If you were [G] somewhere else, [F] you won't have [C] to die.
He spoke, not a word, though it meant his life,
[G] cause he'd been in my arms, [F] since then he's been gone.
[C] And now [F] I walk [C] these hills, in a long black veil,
[F] I visit [C] his grave, when night went away.
Nobody knows, [F] nobody sees, nobody [G] knows [C] but me.
[G] The scaffold was high, [C] eternity near,
I stood in the crowd, and [F] I shed [C] not one tear.
But sometimes at night, when the moon went [G] moon,
[F] I'd cry on a [D] hill of bones.
And now I walk [C] these hills, [F] in a long [C] black veil,
[F]
I visit his grave, when night [C] went away.
Nobody knows, nobody sees, [F]
nobody [C] knows but me.
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night,
[Dm] [G] someone was killed, near the [Ab] town hall.
