On the D/C in the chorus, it is a pulldown on the A string, 3rd fret


                 A    D               A
I came in here tonight to do a little thinking
            A                                        E
When I left home-I promised her twice "I ain't going drinking"
              A               D
Then you walk in and knock me down
               A                 E                       A
We could slip away, but in a few days, it'll be all over town


Chorus:
               A         D             A
But my country conscience will tell on me
                A    A# B       E
The roots of my raising run too deep
              D                 D/C        A     D
Sometimes temptation can make a strong man weak
               A         E             A 
But my country conscience won't let me cheat


I started to leave then I hesitated
I looked in her eyes and I was almost persuaded
Then she took my hand-but when she touched my ring
A voice in my head, spoke up and said "Son you're doing the wrong thing"

Chorus

My country conscience won't let me cheat
