Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Ten years ago
On a cold dark night
[A]Someone [Asus4]was killed
'Neath [G]the Town Hall [D]light

[Verse 2]
[D]Few were at the scene
But they all did agree
[A]The slayer who [Asus4]ran
Looked [G]a lot like me
[D]

[Verse 3]
The judge said, "son
What is your alibi?
If [A]you were [Asus2]somewhere [A]else
[G]You won't have to die"
[D]

[Verse 4]
Well I spoke not a word
Although it meant my life
For I had [A]been in [Asus2]the arms[A]
Of my [G]best friend's wife
[D]

[Verse 5]
[G]She walks these hil[D]ls
In [G]a long black [D]veil
[G]She visits my [D]grave
When [G]the night winds [D]wail

[Verse 6]
[D]Nobody knows, [G]nobody [D]sees[G]
Nobody [A]knows [Asus2]but me[A]

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][D][G]
[D][G][D][G][D]
[G][D][G][A][G]
[D]
[Dsus4]The scaffold

[Verse 7]
[D]was high
And eternity near
She stood [Asus4]in the crowd
[D]And[Asus4] shed not[A] a [G]tear
[D]

[Verse 8]
[Dsus4]But somet[D]imes at night
When the cold wind moans
In [A]a long [Asus2]black veil[A]
She [G]cries o'er [D]my [Bm]bones

[Verse 9]
She [G]walks these [D]hills
In [G]a long black [D]veil
She [G]visits my [D]grave
When [G]the night winds [D]wail

[Verse 10]
[D]Nobody knows, [G]nobody [D]sees[G]
Nobody [A]knows [Asus2]but me[A]
[D]

[Verse 11]
Nobody knows, [G]nobody [D]sees
[G]Nobody kno[A]ws but me

[Outro 1]
[G][D][A]
