[G] This is a tune a buddy of mine in Patrick County, Virginia wrote.
[Bb] It talks about killing people.
[G] And I asked him what his inspiration for this song was and he said it was his ex-wife.
But she's still alive and not in jail.
And we've got a good song.
I don't think there's something like it.
We were married in the spring.
She didn't want for anything.
But love and pleasure, [D] little cabin, [G] close to town.
[B] [G] Working hard out on the farm.
Counting empty vodka.
Till one day, [D] when spring came [G] around.
Rock, ready, can't wait no more.
Right through the park, out in the door.
This time, [D] I'll be in that [G] game.
What was I supposed to do?
Well, I could tell he'd been confused.
He played me mad and [D] I just couldn't [G] stand the pain.
I can't [C] believe what I have done.
I [G] killed him off with daddy's gun.
Last body [D] lays entangled in [G] our bed.
He was [C] a sheriff's only son.
[G] To me, she was the only one.
I smelled perfume, [D] the powder, [G] and the lead.

[D] [Gm]
[D] [G] I thought he'd start [Dm] to [G] shake.
Begin to think about my pain.
As I turned, I started [D] to stagger.
[G] Doors were closed.
I heard her take her final breath.
I knew my center house would be dead.
So I threw that [D] smoking gun [G] on the floor.
[A] [G] That vice, he'd reached it.
Half the night's hung in the air.
Since that awful [D] dreadful crime [G] that I had to bear.
All the love she's lost to me.
Another man, they'll never be.
In the end, I'll [D] have to die [G] for loving you.
I [C] can't believe what I have done.
I [G] killed him off with daddy's gun.
Last body [D] lays entangled in [G] our bed.
He was a [C] sheriff's only [G] son.
To me, she was the only one.
I smelled perfume, [D] the powder, [F] [G] and the lead.
