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.
