Capo 3 
 
A5  
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night 
E5                   D5                   A5 
A man was killed, beneath the town hall light 
A5 
Though there were few, present at the scene 
     E5                     D5                A5 
They say the man who fled, looked alot like me 

Refr?o -------------
        D5           A5           D5          A5 
And she walks these hills, in a long black veil 
D5             A5               D5           A5 
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail 
D5      A5      D5      A5 
Nobody knows, nobody sees 
D5      E5         A5    D5 E5 A5 
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) 
D5      A5      D5      A5 
Nobody knows, nobody sees 
D5      E5   A5 
Nobody knows
