[Bb]
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
[F] There was someone killed
[Eb] Neath the town [Bb] hall light
There were few at the scene
But they all did agree
[F] That the slayer who ran
[Eb] Looked a lot [A] like [Bb] me
The judge said son, what is your
Alibi?
[F] If you were somewhere else
[Eb] Then you won't [Bb] have to die.
