Ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone was killed [Bb] beneath the town [Bb] hall lights
few at the scene but they all agreed
slayer who ran [Bb] looked a lot like me
She walks these hills in a long black veil
grave when the night winds wail
Nobody [Eb] knows, nobody [Eb] sees, [Am] nobody [Bb] knows but me
your alibi?

_ _ _ _ _ _ Ten years ago on a cold dark night
[F] _
Someone was killed [Bb] beneath the town [Bb] hall lights
There were few at the scene but they all agreed
[F] That the slayer who ran [Bb] looked a lot like me
_ She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds _ wail _
_ _ _ _ Nobody [Eb] knows, nobody [Eb] sees, [Am] nobody [Bb] knows but me
_ The judge said, son, what is your alibi?
[F] If you were somewhere [Ebm] else, then you won't have to die
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
[C] I'd been in the [F] arms [Eb] of my best [Bb] friend's wife _ _
_ Did I hear somebody applaud? _ _
Now the scaffold is high and _ eternity's near
[F] She stood in the crowd [Bbm] and [Bb] shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind [F] moans
In a long black veil [Eb] she cries, oh [Bb] my bone
_ [Bb] She walks these hills in a long black veil
[Eb] She visits [Bb] my [E] grave when the night winds wail _
Nobody _ _ _ _ [Eb] knows, nobody [Bb] sees, [F] nobody [Bb] knows but me
Can [Eb] I have a glass of [N] water?
Can I have a drink of water?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Let _ me have a drink of water, I'm about to choke up, that's cocaine blues.
I got a _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [F] special [Bb]
surprise for [Eb] you fellas, and especially for [Bb] one fella.
A _ _
[N] brand new song that I just sang last night for the first time. _
It was written by somebody here in Folsom Prison.
Can I have a drink of water? _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Last time I was here I had a drink of water.
And I don't know what the hell it run off of.
I think it must have run off of Luther's boots or something. _
_ _ _ _ Is that water? _ _
You promised that's water, huh?
_ Is that water, Bob? _
That's water. _ _ _ _ _
Serve everything in ten cups? _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ You [Bb] caught it, didn't you?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
_ _ _ I have an announcement here. _
