Tennessee Waltz  - Pee Wee King  & Leonard Cohen
[Intro] 
 G GDAG G
| |  | | |  
[Verse 1]  
        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 her to my darlin' and while they were dancin'  
   G               C    G     D    G
my friend stole my sweetheart from me.  
[Chorus 1]  
  G            G7            C         G
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz  
                       Em          A     D
'cause I know just how much I have lost  
      G                         G7               C
Yes I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin'  
     G         C  G  D   G
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz  
[Verse 2]  
      G                           G7        C
Now I wonder how a dance like the Tennessee Waltz  
           G         Em           A        D
Could have broken my heart so complete  
       G                              G7             C
Well I couldn't blame my darlin', and who could help fallin'  
   G            C   G   D  G
In love with my darlin' so sweet  
[Chorus 2]  
        G           G7           C         G
Well it must be the fault of the Tennessee Waltz  
                        Em            A      D
Wish I'd known just how much it would cost  
      G                               G7           C
But I didn't see it commin', it's all over but the cryin'  
         G          C  G  D   G
Blame it all on the Tennessee Waltz  
[Verse 3]
        G                              G7        C
He goes dancin' in 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 drinkin and it's deeper than sorrow  
      G          C    G  D  G
this darkness he left in my heart  
[Chorus 1]  
  G            G7            C         G
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz  
                       Em          A     D
'cause I know just how much I have lost  
      G                          G7              C
Yes I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin'  
     G         C  G  D   G
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
