G Ten years ago on a cold dark night D C G there was someone killed 'neath the town hall light There were few at the scene but they all agreed D C G that the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me The judge said son what is your alibi if you were somewhere else than you don'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 C G C G She walks the hills in a long black veil C G C G she visits my grave when the night winds wail C G nobody knows, nobody sees C D G nobody knows but me.
