Intro 1

Verse 1
G 
Ten years ago,
on a cold dark night,
D 
there was someone killed
C 
G 
near the town hall light.
There were few in the crowd,
and they all did agree
D 
That the man who ran
C 
G 
looked a lot like me
The judge said, son,
what is your alibi?
D 
You were somewhere else,
C 
G 
then you won't have to die
I spoke not a word,
though it meant my life
D 
I had been in the arms
C 
G 
of my be st friend's wife
C 
G 
She walks these hills
C 
G 
in a long black veil
C 
She visits my grave
G 
C 
G 
when the night winds wail
C 
G 
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
C 
D 
C 
Am 
G 
nobody knows but me
The scaffold was high
and eternity near
D 
She stood in the crowd
C 
G 
and she shed not a tear
But sometimes at night,
when the cold wind moans
D 
In a long black veil,
C 
G 
she cries over my bones
C 
G 
C 
G 
She walks these hills in a long black veil
C 
She visits my grave
G 
C 
G 
when the night winds wail
C 
G 
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
C 
D 
C 
Am 
nobody knows but me
G 
C 
G 
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
C 
D 
nobody knows but me
