_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ You're from Saskatoon, [F#] Saskatchewan, right?
That's right.
What do they call someone [D] from Saskatchewan?
[B] _ Saskatchewanians.
[A#]
Saskatchewanians.
You're from Arkansas.
Yeah.
And what do they call you?
[C#] Well, I [F] better not repeat it to a nice [C#] lady like you.
_ Ten _ _ _ _ years ago, [A#m] on a cold, dark night,
[G#] Someone was killed [F#] near the town [C#] hall lights.
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
[G#] That the slayer who rapped looked a lot [C#] like me.
_ _ [F#] She walked [C#] me in shivers [F#] in a long black [C#] veil.
_ She [F#] visited [C#] my grave when the night was bright. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Nobody knows, nobody sees,
[F#] _
[G#] Nobody knows [C#] but me.
_ _ The judge said, son, what if you're out of line?
If [G#] you were somewhere else, [F#] you won't [C#] have to die.
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life.
[G#] I'd been in the arms of my best [C#] friend twice.
Now the scaffold stood high and eternity was near.
[G#] She stood in the crowd [F#] but she shed [C#] not a tear.
_ But sometimes at night when the cold wind calls,
[G#] She comes to my grave and [F#] she moans [C#] over my bones.
_ [F#] She walks [C#] me in [F#] shivers in a long [C#] black veil.
_ [F#] She visited [C#] my grave [F#] when the night [C#] was bright. _ _
_ _ _ _ Nobody knows, _
[F#] _ [C#] nobody sees,
_ [F#] Nobody [G#] knows [C#] but me.
_ _ Nobody _ [F#] knows, nobody [C#] sees,
[F#] Nobody [G#] knows [C#] but me.
