My last record was called The List and it was based on a song
[G] that my dad gave me when
I was 18 years old, [D] a list he made which he called 100 Essential Country Songs.
[Eb] And this was on it, on both The List [Bbm] and my records on The List.
And I really [C] don't think there's any American roots music on [Bbm] half of this song.
[F] [Bbm]
[Eb]
[Gb] [Bbm]
[Db] [Bbm]
[Eb] [Fm]
[Bb]
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night, there was [F] someone killed [Bb] [Eb] beneath the town hall [Bb] light.
There were few at the scene, but they all did agree, that [F] the slayer of [C] rent looked [Eb] a lot like [Bb] me.
The judge said, son, what is your alibi?
[F]
If you move somewhere [D] else, [Eb] then you won't have to [Bb] die.
I spoke not a [F] word, [Bb] the wind meant my life, [F] for I've been in the arms of [Eb] my best [Bb] friend's wife.
[Eb] She walks [Bb] these hills [Eb] in a long [Bb] black veil.
She [Eb] visits my [F] grave [Eb] when the [Bb] night winds wail.
Nobody knows,
[Eb] [Gm] nobody sees, [Eb]
nobody [C] [Bb] knows but me.
The scaffold was high, and he turned the TV [C] in.
She stood [F] in the [C] crowd, [Eb] and she let not [Bb] a tear fall.
But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans, in [Fm] a long black veil, [Eb] she cries out [Bb] my voice.
[Eb] She walks [Bb] these hills [Eb] in a long [Bb] black veil.
She [Eb] visits [Bb] my grave [Eb] when the [Bb] night winds wail.
Nobody [Eb] knows, nobody [G] sees, [Eb] nobody [C]
knows [Bb] but me.
Nobody [Eb] knows, nobody [Gm] sees, [Eb]
nobody [C] knows [Bb] but me.
