Lonesome River Band - Perfume powder and lead

^GWe were married in the spring, she didn't want for anything ^GA lovin' husband, a little c^Dabin, clo^Gse to town ^GWorkin' hard out on the farm, comin' in to all her charm ^GUntil one day, when the ^Dstranger c^Game around

^GIt starts to rain can't work no more, run to the porch open the door ^GTo their surprise I ^Drealize their littl^Ge game ^GSo what was I supposed to do, oh I could tell he'd been with you ^GIt made me mad and I just ^Dcouldn't stand ^Gthe pain

I can't^C believe what I have done, I^G killed them both with daddy's gun ^GAs their bodies lay ^Dentangled in our^G bed He w^Cas the sheriffs only son, to m^Ge she was the only one ^GI smelled the perfume, the^D powder and the^G lead

^GWell my body starts to shake, begin to think about my fate ^GAs I turn and start to ^Dstagger toward the ^Gdoor ^GI heard her take her final breath, I knew my sentence would be death ^GAnd so I threw that smokin' ^Dgun onto the floor^G

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