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