Ten years ago on a cold dark night
D D7 C GThere was someone shot 'neath the town hall light
GFew were at the scene but they all agree
That the man did the shooting looked a lot like me
The judge said "Son, what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else you won't have to die"
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife
(Chorus)
She walks these hills in a long black veil
C G C D7 GShe visits my grave while the night winds wail
B7 C GNobody knows, nobody sees,
Nobody knows but me
The scaffold was high, and eternity near
She stood in the crowd, but she shed not a tear
But sometimes late at night, when the cold wind moans
She visits my grave, and she cries o'er my bones
(Chorus)
