Chord/Tab song: Perfume, Powder and Lead

INTRO GGDG

[G]We were married in the spring, she didn't want for anything
[G]A lovin' husband, a little c[D]abin, clo[G]se to town
[G]Workin' hard out on the farm, comin' in to all her charm
[G]Until one day, when the [D]stranger c[G]ame around

[G]It starts to rain can't work no more, run to the porch open the door
[G]To their surprise I [D]realize their littl[G]e game
[G]So what was I supposed to do, oh I could tell he'd been with you
[G]It made me mad and I just [D]couldn't stand [G]the pain

Chorus:
I can't[C] believe what I have done, I[G] killed them both with daddy's gun
[G]As their bodies lay [D]entangled in our[G] bed
He w[C]as the sheriffs only son, to m[G]e she was the only one
[G]I smelled the perfume, the[D] powder and the[G] lead


[G]Well my body starts to shake, begin to think about my fate
[G]As I turn and start to [D]stagger toward the [G]door
[G]I heard her take her final breath, I knew my sentence would be death
[G]And so I threw that smokin' [D]gun onto the floor[G]

[G]Now I sit here in this jail, and now my life's a livin hell
[G]Since that awful dreadful[D] crime I had to [G]do
[G]All her love she vowed to me, another man there'd never be
[G]And in the end I'll have to[D] die for loving yo[G]u


Chorus:

I can't believe what I have done
