G                                        Am
He told her he couldn't make it home for dinner
        C                                   G
He'd be working late at the Wolf Creek Mine again
G                                      Am
But she followed him to Kermit West Virginia

I would have stood by you until the end
               Am   C          G
But I'd rather see a cold stone above you
                Am    Cm9/B   C                    G
Than to see you in the arms of Tina at the Teardrop Inn

She said say your prayers have yourselves a cold one
      C                                   G
Watch this Smith and Wesson shaking in my hand
G                                            Am
There'll be no cold Budweiser's where you're going

There'll be no Tina there'll be no Teardrop Inn

This chord is mainly used as a walk up from the Am to the C in the last line of the chorus.

Watch the timing on the repeat line of the last chorus. The last line is held for an extra measure between "Tina" and "at"
