Loving County
by: Charlie Robison

Cappo 6th fret

Intro: D C G D(the Cadd9 can be used in place of C for different sound)

Verse
D               C              G               F          D
I loved a girl she lived out in Pecos pretty as she could be
D                         C        G                F            D   
And I worked the rigs on out in Odessa to give her whatever she needs
D                               C           G                   F
But that girls she run with an oil company bum cause a diamond was not on her
D
hand
D                              C         G                  F         D 
But He left her soon neath the big Loving moon to go out and x-ray the land

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 shield shines towards the sky
       D(strum once)
Like a thousand tiny diamonds in the lights of Loving County

Verse

D                               C            G                    F 
Well I walked in that bar and I drank myself crazy thinkin bout her and that
D
man
D                             C          G                           F      
When in walked a woman lookin richer than sin and ten years worth of work on
    D
her hand
D                                 C       G              F          D 
Well I followed her home and when she was alone I put my gun to her head
D                      C                G                     F           D
And I dont recall what happened next at all but now that rich woman she's dead

Chorus

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

Instrumental....................

Verse

D                               C            G 
Well she opened that door and I knelt on the floor
               F           D
and I put that ring in her hand
D                      C                  G                       F     D
And she said I do and she'd leave with me soon to the rigs out in south Alabam
D                            C          G                        F         D 
Well I told her to hide that ring there inside and wait till the timin was 
good
D                         C         G                      F     D
And I drove back home and I was alone cause I thought that she'd understood

Chorus

G                                 C            G            D 
The next night an old friend just called me to wish us both well
          G                 C         G
said he'd seen her downtown sashay'in around
D
and her diamond how it sparkled in the lights of Loving County

Instrumental................

Verse

D                                 C            G                   F        D
Well that sheriff he found me out wonder'n all around El Paso the very next 
day
D                                C            G 
You see I'd lost my mind on that broken white line
              F       D 
before I even reached Balmorhea
D                               C          G
Now she's in Ft.Worth and she's just givin birth
                   F           D 
to the son of that oil company man
D                              C              
And they burried that poor old sheriffs dead wife
                    F            D
with the ring that I stole on her hand

Chorus
G                          C          G          D
Sometimes they let me look up at that East Texas sky
G                            C           G 
and the rain on the pines oh lord how it shines
D
like my darlins little diamond in the lights of Loving County

Living County is played in drop d tuning.
-SteveAbney | 10/23/2002
i think you mean LOVING county not living dear...
-rockonCCR | 2/3/2003
If you want to use bar chords, the chords are G#, F#, D#, B, G#.
This is a great song, i live in pecos so i kind of relate to it.
-mjmckinney | 3/5/2004
I would try to just put the capo on 1 and then play with the "G" form and avoid the barre chords. My ear like this way better.
-codydicken | 11/16/2005
The song sounds best to me with the capo on the first fret and the verses going G-F-C-Bb(B Flat)-G. The F sounds better with:

----------1----------
----------1----------
----------2----------
----------3----------
---------------------
---------------------

I think it's called Fadd9 but I'm not sure. For the B Flat use a barre chord B just up the neck a fret.
