Capo 3
A
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
E D A
A man was killed, beneath the town hall light
A
Though there were few, present at the scene
E D A
They say the man who fled, looked alot like me
D A D A
And she walks these hills, in a long black veil
D A D A
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail
D A D A
Nobody knows, nobody sees
D E A D E A
Nobody knows but me
The judge said son, what's your alibi
If you were somewhere else, then you would not have to die
But I did not say a word, though it meant my life
For I was in the arms of my best friends wife
(Chorus)
The scaffold is high and eternity is near
She was in the crowd, she shed not a tear
Oh sometimes late at night, when the cold wind blows
The long black veil it rests over my bones
(Chorus)
D A D A
Nobody knows, nobody sees
D E A
Nobody knows
