Em G Em D G Ten years ago, on a cold dark night D C G There was someone killed, 'neath the town hall lights Just a few at the scene, but they all did agree D C G That the man who ran looked a lot like me The judge said son, what is your alibi D C G If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die Well I spoke not a word, although it meant my life D C G I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife C G C G She walks these hills, in a long black veil C G C G She visits my grave, when the night winds wail C G C D Em Nobody knows, lord, nobody sees, nobody knows but me G Well the scaffold was high, and eternity near D C G She stood in the crowd, and shed not a tear But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans D C G In a long black veil, she cries all over my bones C G C G She walks these hills, in a long black veil C G C G She visits my grave, when the night winds wail C G C D Em Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me G C G C D Em Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me
