VERSE ONE

      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 introduced him to my darlin' and while they were dancin'
    G               D               G
My friend stole my sweet-heart from me.


CHORUS
 
   G           G7             C         G
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
                       Em           A   D
Only you know just how much I have lost
       G                         G7               C
Yes I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin'
      G         D         G 
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz

VERSE TWO
          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            D         G  
This darkness she left in my heart


CHORUS REPEAT
   
   G           G7             C         G
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
                       Em           A  D
Only you know just how much I have lost
       G                         G7               C
Yes I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin'
      G         D        G 
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
