Verse 1
(D major) Ten years ago on a cold dark night
A man (A major) was killed underneath
the town (G major) hall (D major) light
There were few at the scene
but they all agreed
That the slayer (A major) who ran,
looked a lot (G major) like me
(D major)
Verse 2
The judge said, "Son what is your alibi?"
If you were somewhere (A major) else then
(G major) you won't have to die (D major)
Well I spoke not a word
though it meant my life
For I had (A major) been in the arms
of my (G major) best friends (D major) wife

Verse 3
She walks these (G major) hills (D major) in a long (G major) black (D major) veil
She (G major) visits my (D major) grave when
the night (G major) winds (D major) wail
Nobody knows (G major) nobody seems (D major)
(G major) nobody knows (A major) but (D major) me
The scaffold (A major) (D major) is high an eternity nears
She stood (A major) in the crowd shed (G major) not a tear (D major)
Verse 4
But sometimes (D major) at night when
the cold winds moan
She comes (A major) to my grave and
she cries (G major) on my (D major) bones
She walks (G major) these (D major) hills in a (G major) long black (D major) veil
She (G major) visits my (D major) grave when the
(G major) night winds (D major) wail
Nobody knows (G major) nobody seems (D major)
(G major) nobody knows (A major) but (D major) me
