This song's played with a capo on the first fret. The verses are G-F-C-Bb-G 
and the choruses are G-C-F-C-G.

G                         F      C                Bb        G
I loved a girl, she lived out in Pecos, pretty as she could be
G                     F      C                   Bb           G
I worked the rigs, on out in Odessa, to give her whatever she needs
G                             F           C                         Bb         G    
But that girl she run with an oil company bum, 'cause a diamond was not on her hand
G                           F          C                   Bb        G
He left her soon 'neath the big lovin' moon, to go out and X-Ray the land

Chorus:
G               C        F           C          G     
Now I sit in my car, the new Rainbow Bar downtown
G       C                        F                  C
And the frost on the windshield, shines towards the sky
G
Like a thousand tiny diamonds in the lights of Loving County

Well I walked in that bar, and drank myself crazy, thinkin' 'bout her and that man
When in walked a woman, lookin' richer than sin, in ten years worth the work on her hand
Well I followed her home, and when she was alone, well I put my gun to her head
And I don't recall, what happened next at all, but now that rich woman, she's dead

Now I drive down the highway, ten miles from my sweet baby's arms
And the moon is so bright, it don't look like night
And the diamond how it sparkles in the lights of Loving County

Well she opened that door, and I knelt on the floor, and I put that ring in her hand
She said, "I do" and she'd leave with me soon to the oil rigs out in south Alabam'
Well I told her to hide, that ring there inside, and wait til the timing was good
And I drove back home, and I was alone, because I thought that she understood

Last night an old friend just called me to wish us both well
Said he'd seen her downtown, sashayin' around
And the diamond how it sparkled in the lights of Loving County

Well that sheriff he found me out wanderin' all around, El Paso the very next day
You see, I'd lost my mind, on that broken white line, 'fore I even reached Balmorea
Now she's in Fort Worth, and she's just givin' birth, to the son of that oil company man
And they buried that poor old, sheriff's dead wife with the ring that I stole on her hand

Sometimes they let me look up at that East Texas sky
And the rain on the pines, oh Lord how it shines
Like a thousand tiny diamonds in the lights of Loving County
