Verse
D        C       G        F     D
I loved a girl she lived out in Pecos pretty as she could be
D             C    G        F      D
And I worked the rigs on out in Oddessa to give her whatever she needs
D                C      G          F
But that girls she runs with an oil company bum cause a diamond was not on her
D

hand
D               C     G         F     D
But He left her soon neath the big Loving moon to go out and x-ray the land


Chorus
G          C        G    D
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
Well I walked in that bar and I drank myself crazy thinkin bought her and that
D
man
D               C     G              F
When in walked a woman lookin richer than sin and ten years worth of work on
  D
her hand
D                 C    G       F     D
Well I followed her home and when she was alone I put my gun to her head
D           C        G           F      D
And I dont recall what happened next at all but now that rich woman she's dead


Chorus
G                C       G      D
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


Instrumental....................


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
