[Bb] Ten years ago, on a cold dark night, [F] there was someone cute,
[Dm] [Eb] deep in town, on a [Bb] long cold [Eb] night.
[Bb] There were a few at the scene, and they all agreed that the [F]
slayer man [Ab] [Eb] looked a lot [Bb] like me.
The judge said, son, what is your alibi?
[Eb]
If you [F] were somewhere else, [Eb] then you won't [Bb] have to die.
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life, for [F] I had been [Cm] in the [Bb] arms [Eb] of my best [Bb] friend's wife.
[Eb] She walks [Bb] these hills [Eb] in a long [Bb] black veil.
[Eb] She visits [Bb] my [Eb] grave when the night [Bb] winds swell.
Nobody knows, nobody
[Ab] sees, [Eb] nobody [F]
[Bb] knows but me.
The

[Eb] [Bb] [F] [Bb]
scaffold was high, and eternity near.
She [F] stood in the crowd, [Eb] and she shed [Bb] not a tear.
And sometimes at night, when the cold wind [F] moans, in a long black veil, [Eb] she cries [Bb] o'er my bones.
She [Eb] walks [Bb] these hills [Eb] in a long [Bb] black [Eb] veil.
[Bb] [Eb] She visits my [Bb] grave [Ab] when [Eb] the night [Bb] winds swell.
Nobody knows, nobody [Fm]
[Bb] sees, [Eb] nobody [F]
[Bb] knows but me.
[Gm] [Eb] Nobody [F] knows
[B] but
[Eb] me.
