[Intro]

[Verse 1]
E B7 A
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
B7 E
There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light
B7 A
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
B7 E
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
[Verse 2]
E B7 A
The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?
B7 E
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die"
B7 A
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
B7 E
For I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife
[Chorus]
A E A E
She walks these hills in a long black veil
A E A E
She visits my grave while the night winds wail
A E A E
Nobody knows, nobody sees
A B7 E
Nobody knows but me
[Verse 3]
E B7 A
The scaffold was high and eternity near
B7 E
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
