Verse 1
    G5                                     A5
He told her he couldn't make it home for dinner,
          C5                                  G5
He'd be working late at the Wolf Creek Mine again.
                                        A5
But she followed him to Kermit, West Virginia,
         C5                                    G5
Watched him park his car behind the Teardrop Inn.

Chorus
        
            E5                  G5
She cried "Bobby, I'll always love you,
               E5      G5             D5
I would have stood by you until the end,
               A5   C5              G5
But I'd rather see a cold stone above you,
                A5               C5                    G5
Than to see you in the arms of Tina, at the Teardrop Inn."

Verse 2

     G5                                           A5       
She said "Say your prayers, and have yourself a cold one,
       C5                                    G5
Watch this Smith and Wesson, shaking in my hand.
                                                A5
There won't be no cold Budweisers where you're going,
         C5                               G5
They'll be Tina, they'll be no Teardrop Inn.
        
Chorus 2
            E5                 G5
She cried "Bobby, I'll always love you,
               E5      G5             D5
I would have stood by you until the end,
               A5  C5              G5
But I'd rather see a cold stone above you,
                A5              C5                     G5
Than to see you in the arms of Tina, at the Teardrop Inn,
                A5              C5                     G5
Than to see you in the arms of Tina, at the Teardrop Inn."
