| I was waltzing with my darling to the | Tennessee | Waltz |
| C | G7 |
When an | old friend I happened to | see |
| C | C7 | F |
Intro | duced her to my loved one and | while they were | waltzing |
| C | G7 | C |
My | friend stole my sweet | heart from | me |
| E7 | F | C |
I remember that | night and the | Tennessee | Waltz |
| G7 |
Now I know just how much I have | lost |
| C | C7 | F |
Yes I | lost my little darling the | night they were | playing |
| C | G7 | C |
The | beautiful | Tennessee | Waltz |
| C | C7 | F |
| Now I wonder how a dance like the | Tennessee | Waltz |
| C | G7 |
Could have | broken my heart so com | plete |
| C | C7 | F |
Well I | couldn't blame my darling, and | who could help | falling |
In love with my darling so sweet | |
Well it must be the fault of the Tennessee Waltz | |
Wish I'd known just how much it would cost | |
But I didn't see it coming, it's all over but the crying | |
Blame it all on the Tennessee Waltz | |
She goes dancing with the darkness to the Tennessee Waltz | |
And I feel like I'm falling apart | |
And it's stronger than drink and it's deeper than sorrow | |
This darkness she left in my heart | |
| C | G7 | C |
The | beautiful | Tennessee | Waltz |
