As recorded by Cody Jinks
(From the 2024 Album CODY JINKS SINGS LEFTY FRIZZELL)
[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E Ten years ago, on a cold, dark night B7 A E There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light E There were few at the scene, but they all agreed B7 A E That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
[Verse 2]
E The judge said, "Son what is your alibi? B7 A E If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die" E I spoke not a word, though it meant my life B7 A E For I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife
[Chorus]
A E A E She walks these hills in a long black veil A E A E She visits my grave when the night winds wail A E Nobody knows, nobody sees A B7 E Nobody knows but me
[Verse 3]
E The scaffold was high and eternity nears B7 A E She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear E But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans B7 A E In a long black veil, she cries over my bones
[Out-Chorus]
A E A E She walks these hills in a long black veil A E A E She visits my grave when the night winds wail A E Nobody knows, nobody sees A B7 E Nobody knows but me A B7 E Nobody knows but me A B7 E Nobody knows but me
