[D] [G] [C] [G]
Ten years ago on a cold dark night [D] there was someone killed in [C] the town [G] hall lights.
There were few at the scene and they all did agree [C] [D] that the man who ran looked [C] a [G] lot like me.
The judge said son what is your alibi if you [D] were somewhere else [C] then you won't [G] have to die.
I spoke my word for women in my life I [D] have been in the arms of [C] my best [G] friend's wife.
She [C] walks [G] these hills in [C] a long [G] black band.
She [C] visits [G] my grave [C] where the night winds [G] wail.
Nobody knows [C] no one nobody [G] sees [C] nobody [G]
[D] knows [C] but me.
[G] The scaffold was high and the eternity near.
[D] She stood in the crowd [C] and [G] shed not a tear.
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans [D] in a long black veil.
She [C] cries over [G] my bones.
She [C]
walks [G] these hills in [C] a long [G] black veil.
[C] She visits [G] my grave [C] where the night winds [G]
wail.
