Grisman, Garcia, Rice
Key: D

INTRO:
DAGD
   

VERSE:
 D
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night,
          A                  G                   D
there was someone killed 'neath the town hall light.
 D
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
        A                     G       D
that the man who ran looked a lot like me.

VERSE:
The judge said "Son, what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die."
Well, I said not a word, though it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife.

CHORUS:
   G             D         G         D
She walks these hills in a long black veil.
    G           D            G       D
She visits my grave while the night wind wails.
D              G       D   G         A      D
Nobody knows, Nobody sees, Nobody knows but me.

SOLO OVER VERSE CHORDS

The gallows were close and eternity near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
Sometimes at night, when the cold winds blow
In a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones

CHORUS

D              G       D   G         A      D
Nobody knows, Nobody sees, Nobody knows but me.
