Ten years ago on a cold dark night
B Am EThere was someone killed 'neath the town hall light
EThere were few at the scene and they all did agree
That the man who ran looked a lot like me.
EThe judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?
B Am EIf you were somewhere else then you won't have to die."
I said not a word though it meant my life,
B Am EI 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 EShe 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
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
EBut sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
B Am EIn 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.
