G
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
DD7CG
There was someone shot 'neath the town hall light
G
Few were at the scene but they all agree
DD7CG
That the man did the shooting looked a lot like me
The judge said "Son, what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else you won't have to die"
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife
CGCD7G
She walks these hills in a long black veil
CGCD7G
She visits my grave while the night winds wail
B7CG
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
A7D7G
Nobody knows but me
