this is from a live recording
C
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
G7 F C
Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall light
C
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 F C
She walks these hills in a long black veil
F C F C
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
F C
Nobody knows, nobody sees
F G7 C
Nobody knows but me
C
The judge said son, what is your alibi
G7 F C
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die
C
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
G7 F C
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
Now the scaffold is high and eternity's near She stood in the crowd did not shed a tear
But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans she visits my grave and cries o'er my bones
She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me
