      G               Gmaj7    
I was dancing with my darlin'  
       G7        C      
To the Tennessee Waltz  
        G            Em7         A7  D7 
When an old friend I happened to see   
        G               Gmaj7    
I intro-duced him to my darlin'  
    G7              C        
And while they were dancing  
   G               D7              G  C G 
My friend stole my sweetheart from me /  
   
     G          B7            C         G      
I re-member the night and the Tennessee Waltz  
                       Em7         A7   D7 
'Cause I know just how much I have lost   
      G              Gmaj7    
Yes I lost my little darlin'  
    G7              C        
The night they were playing  
    G         D7        G     C G 
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz /  
   
      G               Gmaj7    
I was dancing with my darlin'  
       G7        C      
To the Tennessee Waltz  
        G            Em7         A7  D7 
When an old friend I happened to see   
        G               Gmaj7    
I intro-duced him to my darlin'  
    G7              C        
And while they were dancing  
   G               D7              G  C G 
My friend stole my sweetheart from me /  
   
     G          B7            C         G      
I re-member the night and the Tennessee Waltz  
                       Em7         A7   D7 
'Cause I know just how much I have lost   
      G              Gmaj7        G7              C        
Yes I lost my little darlin', the night they were playing  
    G         D7        G     C G 
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz /  
   
          G                   Gmaj7     
She comes dancing through the darkness  
       G7        C      
To the Tennessee Waltz  
      G             Em7       A7   D7 
And I feel like I'm falling a-part   
         G             Gmaj7  
And it's stronger than drink  
         G7          C       
And it's deeper than sorrow  
     G              D7         G     C G 
This darkness she's left in my heart /  
   
     G          B7            C         G      
I re-member the night and the Tennessee Waltz  
                       Em7         A7   D7 
'Cause I know just how much I have lost   
      G              Gmaj7        G7              C        
Yes I lost my little darlin', the night they were playing  
    G         D7        G     C 
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz   
    G         D7        G      C G 
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz  /
