10 years ago _ on a cold dark night, _ _ [A] somebody _ was killed
near [G] the town hall [D] light.
_ _ _ _ _
There were few at the scene, but they all
did agree that [A] the slayer who ran
the [G] thing not allow [D] _
me. _ _ _ _
The judge said, _ somebody's your _ _ ID.
_ You [A] are _ somewhere _ else, [G] then you won't have [D] to die. _ _ _ _
I spoke not a word, though it _ meant my life.
I [A] had been in the arms of [G] my best _ [D] friend's wife. _ _ _
[G] She walks [D] these hills [G] in a long [D] black veil. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] She visits [D] my grave [G] with a night _ [D] wind's wail.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Nobody knows, _ _ _ [G] _ _
nobody [D] sees. _ _
[G] _ _ Nobody [D] _
[A] knows [G] but _ me.

_ _ _ _ She _ scaffold us high and _ _ eternally.
_ _ [A] She stood in the _ crowd [G]
and shed [D] not a tear.
_ _ _ _ _
But _ sometimes at night when the _ cold wind blows
in a [A] _
long black _ veil, [G] she cries over [D] my bone. _ _ _ _
[G] She walks [D] these hills [G] in a long [D] black _ veil. _ _
She _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _
[Em] visits my [D] _ grave [G] with a night [D] wind's _ wail. _ _ _ _

Nobody, _ _ _ [G] _ _
nobody [D] sees. _ _
[G] _ _ Nobody _ [D]
knows [A] [G] but me. _

Nobody, _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [D]
nobody sees.
_ [G] _ _ Nobody _ [D] knows [A] [G] but _ me. _ _ _ _
_ Nobody _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] sees. _

[A] _ _ _ _ LeVon [F#m] came back [Dm] this year with a Grammy-winning award _ [G] record
called The Dirt Farmer, produced by [N] Amy Helman, Larry Campbell,
of course, and a lot of the folks up here participated,
and you all did by helping us out, _ _ making it a winner.
Thank you.
I'm going to do some numbers [G] from that.
