Lonesome River Band – Perfume Powder And Lead chords

Perfume, Powder and Lead
Tabbed by Jason Tenney

INTRO GGDG

GWe were married in the spring, she didn't want for anything
G                           D        GA lovin' husband, a little cabin, close to town
GWorkin' hard out on the farm, comin' in to all her charm
G                       D         GUntil one day, when the stranger came around

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


Chorus:
       C                           G                                             I can't believe what I have done, I killed them both with daddy's gun
G                   D               GAs their bodies lay entangled in our bed
    C                             GHe was the sheriffs only son, to me she was the only one
G                         D              GI smelled the perfume, the powder and the lead



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

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


Chorus:

   
I can't believe what I have done…
