| |  | D | D7 | G |  | I was | dancin' with my darlin to the | Tennessee | Waltz | 
 | 
| |  | D | Bm | E | A |  | When an | old friend I | happened to | see. |  | 
 | 
| |  | D | D7 | G |  | I intro | duced him to my darlin' and | while they were | dancin' | 
 | 
| |  | D | G | D | A | D |  | my | friend stole my | sweet | heart | from | me. | 
 | 
|  | 
| |  |  | D | D7 | G | D |  |  | I | remember the | night and the | Tennessee | Waltz | 
 | 
| |  |  | Bm | E | A |  |  | 'cause I know just how | much I have | lost |  | 
 | 
| |  |  | D | D7 | G |  |  | Yes I | lost my little darlin' the | night they were | playin' | 
 | 
| |  |  | D | G | D | A | D |  |  | That | beautiful | Tenn | es | see | Waltz | 
 | 
|  | 
| |  | D | D7 | G |  | Now I | wonder how a dance like the | Tennessee | Waltze | 
 | 
| |  | D | Bm | E | A |  | Could have | broken my | heart so com | plete |  | 
 | 
| |  | D | D7 | G |  | Well I | couldn't blame my darlin', and | who could help | fallin' | 
 | 
| |  | D | G | D | A | D |  | In | love with my | dar | lin' | so | sweet | 
 | 
|  | 
| |  |  | D | D7 | G | D |  |  | Well it | must be the | fault of the | Tennessee | Waltz | 
 | 
| |  |  | Bm | E | A |  |  | Wish I'd known just how | much it would | cost |  | 
 | 
| |  |  | D | D7 | G |  |  | But I | didn't see it commin', it's all | over but the | cryin' | 
 | 
| |  |  | D | G | D | A | D |  |  | Blame it | all on the | Tenn | es | see | Waltz |

 | 
|  | 
| |  | D | D7 | G |  | She goes | dancin' with the darkness to the | Tennessee | Waltz | 
 | 
| |  | D | Bm | E | A |  | and I | feel like I'm | falling | apart |  | 
 | 
| |  | D | D7 | G |  | and it's | stronger than drink and it's | deeper than | sorrow | 
 | 
| |  | D | G | D | A | D |  | this | darkness she | left | in | my | heart | 
 | 
|  | 
|  | 
| | That beautiful Tennessee Waltz |
