Ten years ago, on a cold dark night

There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light

There were few at the scene, but they all did agree

That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
Verse 2G
The judge said: Son, what is your alibi?
DCG
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die

I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
DCG
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife

She visits my grave when the night winds wail
ChorusGCEmD
Nobody knows, nobody sees
CDG
Nobody knows but me

In a long black veil, she cries over my bones

She walks these hills in a long black veil
CGCG
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
