G
Ten years ago on a cool dark night,there was
D
someone killed beneath the
C
town hall
G
lightThere were few at the scene and they all did agree,that the
D
one who ran looked a
C
lot like
G
me
The
G
judge said “Son, what is your alibi?If you were
D
somewhere else then
C
you won’t have to
G
die”
I spoke not a word although it meant my life,I had
D
been in the arms of my
C
best friend’s
G
wife
She
C
walks these
G
hills in a
C
long black
G
veil;she
C
visits my
G
grave where the
C
night winds
G
wailNobody knows, no, and
C
nobody
G
sees,
D
nobody knows but
C
me
G
The
G
scaffold was high and eternity neared,she
D
stood in the crowd and
C
shed not a
G
tear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans,in a
D
long black veil she
C
cries over my
G
bones
She
C
walks these
G
hills in a
C
long black
G
veil;she
C
visits my
G
grave where the
C
night winds
G
wailNobody knows, no, and
C
nobody
G
sees,
D
nobody knows but
C
me
G
D
nobody knows but
C
me
G
These known chords are used in this song.
