George Jones - In The Shadow Of A Lie chords
Start Jamming...
[G] [D] [G]
[Em] [G] I lead a rich, rewarding [C] life, good wife, [G] a home, a car.
But generally, you can find me down in some dim, poor.
[D] I hold all the treasures of the world, [C] this fact I [G] can't deny.
But I'm living, yes I'm living, in [D] the shadow of [G] a lie.
My wife's first [G] husband and [C] myself were on a [G] fishing trip.
He was in our rowboat, me on shore, when I saw my [D] partner slip.
[G] I held his sting to a cold of me, and I delayed my rescue dash.
Till I knew my lover's husband [D] had finally breathed his [G] last.
I took his body back to town, [C] and restrained a [G] happy smile.
When they said there'd be a hearing, wouldn't even [Bm] be a trial.
[G] Had to find a standing citizen [C] like me could [G] do no wrong.
[C] And the wall between [G] me and my love [D] was finally to [G] be gone.
Now [C] just when my world was brightest, [G] and warmth off run through my head.
[C] A chilling darkness flows, [G] like a demon [D] overhead.
[G] And sometimes the guilt inside me, [C] rings so strong I [G] hope to die.
For I'm living, is it living, [E] in [D] the shadow of [G] a lie.
