| [G] | [D7] | [G] | [G]

I was | [G] dancing with my | darlin' to the | [G7] Tennessee | [C] Waltz
When an | [G] old friend I | happened to | [D7] see | [D7]
I intro- | [G] duced him to my | darlin' and | [G7] while they were | [C] dancing
My | [G] friend stole my | [D7] sweetheart from | [G] me | [G]

Chorus
I re- | [G] member the | [B7] night and the | [C] Tennessee | [G] Waltz
'Cause I | [G] know just how | much I have | [D7] lost | [D7]
Yes I | [G] lost my little | darlin' the | [G7] night they were | [C] playing
The | [G] beautiful | [D7] Tennessee | [G] Waltz | [G] |

The | [G] beautiful | [D7] Tennessee | [G] Waltz | [G]

She comes | [G] dancing through the | darkness to the | [G7] Tennessee | [C] Waltz
And I | [G] feel like I'm | falling a- | [D7] part | [D7]
And it's | [G] stronger than | drink, and it's | [G7] deeper than | [C] sorrow
This | [G] darkness she's | [D7] left in my | [G] heart | [G]
