Now I sit in my car the new rainbow bar downtown
        G                        C                  G
And the frost on the wind sheild shines towards the sky
       D
Like a thousand tiny diamonds in the lights of Loving County


Verse
D                               C            G                    F

When in walked a woman lookin richer than sin and ten years worth of work on

Well I followed her home and when she was alone I put my gun to her head

Now I drive down the highway ten miles from my sweet baby's arms
       G                     C               G
And the moon is so bright it don't look like night
D
and the diamond how it sparkles in the lights of Loving County

Verse
D                               C            G
Well she opened that door and I knelt on the floor
               F           D
and I put that ring in her hand
D                      C                  G                       F     D
And she said I do and she'd leave with me soon to the rigs out in south Alabam
D                            C          G                        F         D
Well I told her to hide that ring there inside and wait till the timin was
good
D                         C         G                      F     D
And I drove back home and I was alone cause I thought that she'd understood


Chorus
G                                 C            G            D
The next night an old friend just called me to wish us both well
          G                 C         G
said he'd seen her downtown sashay'in around
D
and her diamond how it sparkled in the lights of Loving County

Verse
D                                 C            G                   F        D
Well that sheriff he found me out wonder'n all around El Paso the very next
day
D                                C            G
You see I'd lost my mind on that broken white line
              F       D
before I even reached Balmaray
D                               C          G
Now she's in Ft.Worth and she's just givin birth
                   F           D
to the son of that oil company man
D                              C
And they burried that poor old sheriffs dead wife
                     F            D
with the ring that I stole on her hand


Chorus
G                          C          G          D
Sometimes they let me look up at that East Texas sky
G                            C           G
and the rain on the pines oh lord how it shines
D
like my darlins little diamond in the lights of Loving County
