TENNESSEE WALTZ By Redd Stewart and Pee Wee King 3/4 time
(VERSE 1)
|G
|Gmaj7
|G7 |C
I was waltzing with my darlin to the Tennessee Waltz
|G
|E7
|A7 |D7
When an old friend I happened to see.
|G
|Gmaj7
|G7
|C
Introduced him to my loved one and while they were waltzing
|G
|D7
|G |G
my friend stole my sweetheart from me.
(CHORUS 1)
|G
|B7
|C |G
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
|G
|E7
|A7 |D7
Now I know just how much I have lost
|G
|G
|G7
|C
Yes I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin'
|G |D7 |G
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
(solo, same as a verse)
(CHORUS
1)
or CHORUS 1 alone again
(VERSE 2)
|G
|Gmaj7
|G7 |C
Now I wonder how a dance like the Tennessee Waltz
|G
|E7
|A7 |D7
Could have broken my heart so complete
|G
|Gmaj7
|G7 |C
Well I couldn't blame my darlin', and who could help fallin'
|G |D7 |G
In love with my darlin' so sweet
(CHORUS 2)
|G
|B7
|C |G
Well it must be the fault of the Tennessee Waltz
|G
|E7
|A7 |D7
Wish I'd known just how much it would cost
|G
|G
|G7 |C
But I didn't see it commin', it's all over but the cryin'
|G
|D7 |G
Blame it all on the Tennessee Waltz
(solo, same as a verse)
(CHORUS 2)
(VERSE 3 by Leonard Cohen)
|G
|Gmaj7
|G7 |C
She goes dancin' with the darkness to the Tennessee Waltz
|G
|E7 |A7 |D7
and I feel like I'm falling apart
|G
|Gmaj7
|G7 |C
and it's stronger than drink and it's deeper than sorrow
|G
|D7 |G
this darkness she left in my heart
|G |B7
I remember the night ... (CHORUS 1)
