Ten years ago on a cold dark night,
A G D
Someone was killed 'neath the town hall lights.
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed,
A G D
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me.
G D G D
Now she walks these hills, in a long black veil.
G D G D
She visits my grave when the night winds wail.
G D G A D
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me.
The scaffold was high, eternity near,
A G D
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear.
But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans,
A G D
In a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones.

The judge said "Son, what is your alibi?
A G D
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die."
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life,
A G D
I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife.
