Ten
years ago,
on a cold dark night,
D 
there was someone killed
C 
in the town hall light.
G 
There were few at the scene,
but they all agreed
D 
That the slayer who ran
C 
G 
looked a lot like me

The judge said, what is your alibi?
D 
You are somewhere else
C 
G 
and you won't have to die
I spoke not a word,
though it meant my life
D 
For I'd been in the arms
C 
G 
of my best friend's wife
C 
G 
She walks these hills
C 
G 
in a long black veil
C

She visits my grave
C

D 
She stood in the crowd
C

But sometimes at night
when the cold wind moans
D 
In a long black veil
C 
she cries on my bones
G
