10 years _ ago, over _ the night, there [C] were some who killed in [Bb] the town [F] of Hite.
There were a few at the scene, and they all _ agreed _ [C] that the slayer _ who ran looked [Bb] a lot like [F] _ me. _ _
_ _ The judge _ said, son, what is your _ _ alibi?
_ _ [C] If you are somewhere else, _ [Bb] then you won't [F] have to die.
I spoke not a word, so it meant my _ life.
[C] I've been in the arms [Bb] of my _ best [F]
friend's wife.
_ _ _ _ [Bb] She walks _ [F] these hills [Bb] and along _ [F] my path _ she [Bb] _
_ possesses [F] my _ grave.
[Bb]
The cold [F] winds _ whip me, _ _ _ _ nobody _ _ _ knows, _ [Bb] _ _ nobody [F] _
sees, _ [Bb] _ nobody _ [C] _
knows [F] but me. _ _
_ The sky has turned dark _ and _ _ eternity's near.
_ _ [C] She stands in the crowd, _ [Bb] she sheds [F] not a tear.
_ Sometimes _ at night, _ when the cold winds _ moan, [C] in a long black veil, _ [Bb] she cries over [F] my loss.
She _ _ _ [Bb]
walks _ [F] these hills _ [Bb] and along my [F] path _ _ [Bb] she _ possesses [F] my grave.
_ _ [Bb] _
The cold [F] winds whip me, _ _ _ _ _ nobody _ _ _ _ [Bb] knows, _ nobody [F] _
sees, _ [Bb] _ nobody _ [C] _
knows [F] but me. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ Nobody _ [C]
knows _ [F] but me. _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ Nobody _ [C] _
_ _ _ knows _ _ _ _ _ but _ [Fm] _ _ [Em]
[F] me. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
