[F#] .
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night, there was someone killed,.
[B] Neath the town [F#] hall light, just a few at the scene,.
And they all did agree, that the [C#] man who ran, [B] looked a lot [F#] like me.
Well the judge said, son, what's your alibi?.
If you're somewhere [C#] .
else, [B] well you don't have to [F#] die.
I spoke a naughty word, though it meant my life,.
I'd been [C#] in the arms [B] of my best [F#] friend's wife.
[B] She [F#] walks these hills, [B] in a long [F#] black fade, .
[F#m] She [B] visits [F#] my grave, [B] when the night [F#] winds wave.
Nobody knows love, [B] nobody [F#] sees, .
[B] nobody [F#] knows [B] but .
[D#m] me.
.
[D#] .
[F#] Well the scaffold's high, and eternity nears,.
And [C#] she stands in the crowd, [B] and sheds [F#] not a tear,.
But sometimes at night, well the cold wind moans,.
[C#] In a long black veil, [B] she cries all over [F#] my bones.
.
[B] She walks [F#] these hills, [B] in a long black [F#] fade,.
She [B] visits my [F#].
grave, [B] when the night winds [F#] wave.
Nobody knows love, [B] nobody [F#] sees, .
[B] nobody [C#] knows [B] but me.
[F#] .
Nobody [B] [F#] .
[B] [C#] knows [B] but me.
