_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Ten years ago _ on a cold dark night
There was [B] someone _ killed beneath [A] the town [E] hall light
There were few at the scene but they all agreed
That the _ slayer who ran looked [A] a lot like [E] me
_ _ _ _ The judge said son what is your _ alibi
If you were [B]
somewhere _ else _ then you won't have [E] to die
I spoke and not a word though it meant my life
For [G#m] I [B] had been _ in the arms of [A] my best _
[E] friend's wife _ _ _ _
She walks [E] these hills [F#m] in a [A] long [E] black veil
[A] She _ visits [E] my grave [A] when the night _ [E] winds _ _ whine
_ _ _ _ _ Nobody _ knows, _ [A] _ _ nobody [E] _ sees, _ [A] _ _ nobody [B] _ knows [E] but me _
The _ _ sky falls _ high and _ eternity ends
She stood in the crowd _ _ [A] and shed not [E] a tear
But _ _ sometimes at night when the cold wind _ moans
In a [B] long black veil _ she [A] cries for [E] my bones
_ _ _ She [A] walks _ [E] these hills in [A] a long black veil
She [A] _ visits my [E] grave when [A] the night _ [E] winds _ _ whine
_ _ _ _ _ Nobody _ _ knows, [A] _ _ nobody [E] _ sees, _ [A] _ _ nobody [B] knows _ [E] but _ me
_ _ _ _ [A] _ Nobody _
[B] knows _ [E] but me _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
