By Marijon Wilkins & Danny Hill Johnny Cash, Joan Baez Key: Eb -5* -5* -5*-5*-3* Ten years a-go -5*-6 7 7 -6-5* on a cold dark night, -6 -6 7 -6 -3* -3* -5* -5*-6 -5* Some-one was killed �neath the Town Hall light -5* -5* -5* -5*-5*-3*-5*-6 7 7 -6-5* The peo-ple who saw they all a-greed -5 -5* -6 -6 7 -6 That the slay-er who ran -3* -3*-5* -5*-6-5* looked a lot like me. -5* -5* -5* -5*-3* -5* -6 7 7 -6-5* The judge said, �son, what is your al-i-bi? -6 -6 7 -6 -5* -5* If you were some-wheres else, -6 -5* -5* 5 5 -5* then you won't have to die�. -5* -5* -5*-5*-5*-3* -5* -6 7 7 -67 I spoke not a word, though it meant my life, -5 -5* -6 -6 7 -6 For I'd been in the arms -3* 5 -5* -5* -6-5* of my best friend's wife. -3*5 -5* -5* 5-3* She walks these hills -3*5 -5* -5* 7-67-6-5* in a long black veil, 5 -5*-5* 5 -3* -3* 5 Vis-its my grave when the -5* -6-5* 7-67-6-5* night winds wail, 7-7*-7* 8 -7*7 -5* -5*-5*7-6-5* No- bod-y knows, no-bod-y sees, 5-5*-5*-5* -6 7 7-6-5* No- bod-y knows, but me. The scaffold is high, eternity near, She stands in the crowd, she sheds not a tear, But sometimes at night, when the cold winds moan, In a long black veil she cries o'er my bones. She walks these hills in a long black veil, Visits my grave when the night winds wail, Nobody knows, nobody sees, Nobody knows, but me. |
