We were married in the spring, she didn't want for anything
But a loving husband [D] and a little cabin close to town
Working hard out on the farm and coming in to all her charm
Until the one day when the stranger [G] came around
It starts to rain, can't work no more, run through the porch, open the door
To their surprise I [D] realize [G] their little game
What was I supposed to do?
Well I could tell he'd been with you
And it made me mad [D] and I just couldn't [G] stand the pain
I [C] can't believe what I have done, [G] I killed them both with daddy's gun
As their bodies [D] lay entangled [G] in our bed
He [C] was a [G] sheriff's only son, to me she was the only one
I smell the perfume, [D] the powder, [G] and the lead

[D]
Now my body starts to shake, begin to think about my fate
[D] As I turn and start to stagger [Gm] towards the door
[G] I heard her take her final breath, I knew my sentence would be death
And so I threw that [D] smoking gun onto the floor
[A] Now [G] I sit here in this jail and my [D] life's a living hell
Since that awful dreadful crime that I [G] had to do
And all her love she vowed to me, another man there'll never be
And in the end I'll [D] have to die for [G] loving you
I can't [C]
believe what I have done, [G] I killed them both with daddy's gun
As their bodies [D] lay entangled in our bed
[Gm] He was [C] a sheriff's only [G] son, to me she was the only one
I smell the perfume, the [D] powder, and the [F] lead
