Intro: DGD ADD|
Verse 1:
DD7G
I was dancin' with my darlin to the Tennessee Waltz
DBmEA
When an old friend I happened to see.
DD7G
I introduced him to my darlin' and while they were dancin'
DGDAD
my friend stole my sweetheart from me.
(Chorus 1)
DD7GD
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
BmEA
'cause I know just how much I have lost
DD7G
Yes I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin'
DGDAD
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
(solo, same as a Verse)
(Chorus 1) or Chorus 1 alone again
(Verse 2)
DD7G
Now I wonder how a dance like the Tennessee Waltze
DBmEA
Could have broken my heart so complete
DD7G
Well I couldn't blame my darlin', and who could help fallin'
DGDAD
In love with my darlin' so sweet
Chorus 2:
DD7GD
Well it must be the fault of the Tennessee Waltz
BmEA
Wish I'd known just how much it would cost
DD7G
But I didn't see it commin', it's all over but the cryin'
DGDAD
Blame it all on the Tennessee Waltz
solo, same as a VerseChorus 2:
DD7G
She goes dancin' with the darkness to the Tennessee Waltz
DBmEA
and I feel like I'm falling apart
DD7G
and it's stronger than drink and it's deeper than sorrow
DGDAD
this darkness she left in my heart
