A Ten years ago on a cool dark night E D A There was someone killed beneath the town hall light A There were few at the scene and they all did agree E D A That the man who ran looked a lot like me A The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi? E D A If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die" A I spoke not a word although it meant my life E D A I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife D A D A She walks these hills in a long black veil D A D A She visits my grave where the night winds wail A D A Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees D E A Nobody knows but me A The scaffold was high and eternity neared E D A She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear A But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans E D A In a long black veil she cries over my bones D A D A She walks these hills in a long black veil D A D A She visits my grave where the night winds wail A D A Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees D E A Nobody knows but me D A D A She walks these hills in a long black veil D A D A She visits my grave where the night winds wail A D A Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees D E A Nobody knows but me A D A Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees D E A Nobody knows but me
