Ten years ago on a cold dark night,

someone was killed by the town hall lights.

B7                A    E
that the slayer who ran looked a lot like me.

Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows, but me

Verse 2:
E
The Judge said son, what is your alibi,
A              B7         E
if you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die.
E
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life,
A               B7      E
for i'd been in the arms of my best friends wife.

Now the scaffold is high, and eternity's near.
A            B7       E

A           B7        E
In a long black veil, she cries over my bones

When the cold winds blow, and the night winds wail.
        A   E
Nobody knows, nobody sees.
A   B7     E
Nobody knows, but me.
