A
My but you have such a pretty face
      D                        A
You remind me of a girl I once knew
D                          A
I guess she's somewhere in Tennessee
    E7                           A 
God knows I should be down there too
           E7                    A
I've got a sadness too sad to be true


Chorus:
       D                   A
At the brand new Tennessee Waltz, 
       A                     E7
You're literally waltzing on air
       D         A
At the brand new Tennessee Waltz
      A          E7          A
Ain't no telling who will be there


I leave you the same way I found you, girl
Descending Victorian stairs
Reminds me of some old photograph
Caught while I'm putting on airs
Gettin' even by saying, who cares

Chorus

Take all your passion violins
Play a song for the Tennessee kid
He's planning on leaving another time
With nowhere to go if he did
Lord, he'll find you wherever you're hid

Chorus

Honey, but you have such a pretty face
You remind me of a girl I once knew
I guess she's somewhere in Tennessee
God knows I should be down there too

God knows I should be down there too
