Bm 
D 
Ten years ago, on a cold, night
A 
There was someone killed
Bm 
D 
in the town hall light
There were few at the scene
But they all agreed
Bm 
A 
That the slayer who ran
Bm 
D 
Looked a lot like me
The judge said, son,
what is your right of by?
A 
D 
A 
If you were somewhere else,
Bm 
D 
then you won't have to die.
But I spoke not a word,
although it meant my life.
A 
For I had been in the arms
Bm 
D 
of my best friend's wife
Bm 
D

when the night winds wail
G

Nobody knows and nobody sees
G

D 
Nobody knows but me
Bm 
D 
The scaffold is high and eternity dear
A 
She stood in the crowd
Bm 
D 
and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night
when the cold winds blow
A 
In a long black veil
Bm 
D 
she cries over my bones
Bm 
D 
Bm 
D 
She walks these hills in a long black veil
Bm

She visits my grave

when the night winds are well

Nobody knows and nobody sees

Nobody knows but me

Nobody knows and nobody sees,
G

nobody knows but me.
