Tennessee Waltz
Patti Page

D                                    D7        G
I was dancing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz
        D            Bm          E    A
When an old friend I happened to see.
        D                          D7              G
I introduced him to my darling and while they were dancing
   D               A               D
My friend stole my sweetheart from me.

CHORUS 1
D              D7            G         D
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
                        Bm          E    A
Because I know just how much I have lost
     D                            D7              G
Yes, I lost my little darling the night they were playing
     D         A         D 
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz

BREAK ON VERSE

REPEAT CHORUS 1

D                                 D7        G
Now I wonder how a dance like the Tennessee Waltz
           D      Bm          E        A
Could have broken my heart so complete
       D                              D7             G
Well I couldn't blame my darling, and who could help falling
   D            A          D
In love with my darling so sweet
 
CHORUS 2
D                   D7           G         D
Well it must be the fault of the Tennessee Waltz  
                        Bm            E     A
Wish I'd known just how much it would cost              
      D                              D7           G
But I didn't see it coming, it's all over but the crying
         D          A         D
Blame it all on the Tennessee Waltz

BREAK ON VERSE

REPEAT CHORUS 2

Additional verse by Leonard Cohen

D                                         D7        G
She goes dancing with the darkness to the Tennessee Waltz
      D              Bm      E      A
And I feel like I'm falling apart
         D                            D7          G 
And it's stronger than drink and it's deeper than sorrow
     D            A          D  
This darkness she left in my heart

REPEAT CHORUS 1 AND END
