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 
 

[Refrão]
        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
