C
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
G7 F C
Someone was killed beneath the town hall light
There were few at the scene but they all agreed
G7 F C
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
F C
She walks these hills
F C
In a long black veil
F C
She visits my grave
F C
When the night winds wail
F C
Nobody knows nobody sees
F G7 C
Nobody knows but me
The judge said son what is your alibi
G7 F C
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die
I spoke not a word though it meant my life
G7 F C
For I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife
Repeat #2
The scaffold's high and eternity near
G7 F C
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind blows
G7 F C
In a long black veil she cries over my bones
repeat #2
