|
| G | G7 | C | I was | dancin' with my darlin to the | Tennessee | Waltz |
|
| G | Em | A | D | When an | old friend I | happened to | see. | |
|
| G | G7 | C | I intro | duced him to my darlin' and | while they were | dancin' |
|
| G | C | G | D | G | my | friend stole my | sweet | heart | from | me. |
|
|
| | G | G7 | C | G | | I | remember the | night and the | Tennessee | Waltz |
|
| | Em | A | D | | 'cause I know just how | much I have | lost | |
|
| | G | G7 | C | | Yes I | lost my little darlin' the | night they were | playin' |
|
| | G | C | G | D | G | | That | beautiful | Tenn | es | see | Waltz |
|
|
| G | G7 | C | Now I | wonder how a dance like the | Tennessee | Waltze |
|
| G | Em | A | D | Could have | broken my | heart so com | plete | |
|
| G | G7 | C | Well I | couldn't blame my darlin', and | who could help | fallin' |
|
| G | C | G | D | G | In | love with my | dar | lin' | so | sweet |
|
|
| | G | G7 | C | G | | Well it | must be the | fault of the | Tennessee | Waltz |
|
| | Em | A | D | | Wish I'd known just how | much it would | cost | |
|
| | G | G7 | C | | But I | didn't see it commin', it's all | over but the | cryin' |
|
| | G | C | G | D | G | | Blame it | all on the | Tenn | es | see | Waltz |
|

(New second verse written by Leonard Cohen) |
|
|
| G | G7 | C | She goes | dancin' with the darkness to the | Tennessee | Waltz |
|
| G | Em | A | D | and I | feel like I'm | falling | apart | |
|
| G | G7 | C | and it's | stronger than drink and it's | deeper than | sorrow |
|
| G | C | G | D | G | this | darkness she | left | in | my | heart |
|
|
|
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz |
