Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
Ten years ago
on a cold dark night
A 
Someone was killed
G 
D 
near the town of Hawaii
There were a few at the scene
But they all agreed
A 
The slayer who ran
G 
D 
looked a lot like me
The judge said, what is your alibi?
A 
You were somewhere else
G 
D 
and you won't have to die
I spoke not a word,
although it meant my life,
A 
for I'd been in the arms
G 
D 
of my best friend's wife.
G 
D 
She walks these hills
G 
D 
in a long black veil.
G 
D 
Oh, she visits my grave
G 
D 
where the night winds wail.
Nobody knows cause nobody sees.
G 
A 
D 
Nobody knows but me
A 
G 
D 
A 
G 
D 
The scaffold is high, eternity near
A 
She stood in the crowd,
G 
D 
A 
D 
but she shed not a tear
But sometimes at night,
when that cold wind blows,
A 
in a long black veil,
G 
D 
there she cries o 'er my bone.
G 
D 
She walks these hills
G 
D 
in a long black veil,
G 
D 
or she visits my grave
G 
where the night winds
D 
Well, nobody knows as nobody sees
G 
A 
D 
Nobody knows but me
G 
A 
D 
Nobody knows but me you
