D                                      C                                    G                                      F                         D  
I loved a girl she lived out in Pecos pretty as she could be
D                                                                 C                    G                                         F                              D

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

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

D                                                         C                                              G                                                            F            D

You see I'd lost my mind on that broken white line
                                     F                 D  
before I even reached Balmaray
