***********************************************************************
[D]Ten years ago on a cold dark night,
[A]Someone was killed 'neath the [G]town hall [D]lights.
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed,
That the [A]slayer who ran looked a [G]lot like [D]me.
Now she [G]walks these [D]hills, in a [G]long black [D]veil.
She [G]visits my [D]grave when the [G]night winds [D]wail.
Nobody knows, [G]nobody [D]sees, [G]nobody [A]knows but [D]me.
The scaffold was high, eternity near,
[A]She stood in the crowd and [G]shed not a [D]tear.
But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans,
In a [A]long black veil, she [G]cries o'er my [D]bones.
Now she [G]walks these [D]hills, in a [G]long black [D]veil.
She [G]visits my [D]grave when the [G]night winds [D]wail.
Nobody knows, [G]nobody [D]sees, [G]nobody [A]knows but [D]me.
The judge said "Son, what is your alibi?
If you were [A]somewhere else then [G]you won't have to [D]die."
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life,
I'd [A]been in the arms of my [G]best friend's [D]wife.
Now she [G]walks these [D]hills, in a [G]long black [D]veil.
She [G]visits my [D]grave when the [G]night winds [D]wail.
Nobody knows, [G]nobody [D]sees, [G]nobody [A]knows but [D]me.
Nobody knows, [G]nobody [D]sees, [G]nobody [A]knows but [D]me.
