Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][F][C][Bb][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Well, I loved a girl
She [F]lived out in [C]Pecos,
and pretty as [Bb]she could [G]be
And I worked the rigs on [F]out in [C]Odessa
To give her [Bb]whatever she [G]needs

[Verse 2]
[G]But that girl,
she run with [F]an oil company [C]bum
'Cause the diamond was [Bb]not on
her [Gm]hand[G]
And he left her soon 'neath
the [F]big loving [C]moon
To go out and [Bb]X-ray the the [G]land

[Verse 3]
Now I [C]sit in my car at the
[F]New Rainbow [C]Bar down[G]town
And the [C]frost on the windshield
[F]shines toward the [C]sky
Like a [G]thousand tiny diamonds in
the lights of loving county

[Verse 4]
Well, [G]l walked in that bar and I
[F]drank myself [C]crazy
Thinking about [Bb]her and
[Gm]that man[G]
When in walked a woman,
looking [F]richer than [C]sin
And ten years [Bb]worth of work on her [G]hand

[Verse 5]
Well, [G]I followed her home and when
[F]she was [C]alone
Well, I put my [Bb]gun to her [G]head
And I don't recall [F]what happened
next at [C]all
But now that rich [Bb]wo man, she is d[G]ead

[Verse 6]
Now I [C]drive down the highway
Ten [F]miles from my [C]sweet
baby's [G]arms[Am]
[G]And the [C]moon is so bright it
[F]don't look like [C]night
And the [G]diamond how it sparkles in the lights
of loving county
[F][C][Bb]

[Verse 7]
[G]
But she opened that door and
I [F]knelt [C]on the floor
And I put [Bb]that ring in her [G]hand
Then she said,
"I do" and she'd [F]leave [C]with me soon
To the rigs out in [Bb]South [G]Alabama

[Verse 8]
Well, I [G]told her to hide that
[F]ring there in[C]side
And wait 'til the [Bb]tim ing was [G]good
And I [Gm]drove [G]back home
[F]and I was[C] alone
'Cause I thought that [Bb]she
under[G]stood[Am]
[G]The

[Verse 9]
[C]next night an old friend just
[F]called me to [C]wish us both [G]well
[Am]He said,[G] he'd seen[C] her downtown,
[F]sashayi[C]ng around
And her [G]diamond how it sparkled in the lights of loving

[C][Bb][G]

[Verse 10]
[G]Well that sheriff,
he found me [F]out wandering
All [C]around El [Bb]Paso the very next [G]day
You [Gm]see, I'd [G]lost my mind on
that [F]broken white [C]line
Before I even [Bb]reached[Gm]
[G]Balmorhea

[Verse 11]
Well, now she's in Fort Worth
and she's [F]just giving [C]birth
To the son of that [Bb]oil company m[G]an[Gm]
[G]And they bur[Gm]ied that poo[G]r old
[F]sheriff's dead [C]wife
With the ring that I [Bb]stole on her [G]hand

[Verse 12]
And [C]sometimes they let me look
[F]up at that [C]East Texas [G]sky
And the [C]rain on the pines,
oh [F]Lord, how [C]it shines
Like my [G]darling's little diamond in
