^EI was dancin' with my darlin to the ^E7Tennessee ^AWaltz When an ^Eold friend I ^C#mhappened to ^F#see. ^B I intro^Educed him to my darlin' and ^E7while they were ^Adancin' my ^Efriend stole my ^Asweetheart ^Bfrom ^Eme.

^EI remember the ^E7night and the ^ATennessee ^EWaltz cause I know just how ^C#mmuch I have ^F#lost.^B Yes I ^Elost my little darlin' the ^E7night they were ^Aplayin' That ^Ebeautiful ^ATennes^Bsee ^EWaltz. #2. ^ENow I wonder how a dance like the ^E7Tennessee ^AWaltz Could have ^Ebroken my ^C#mheart so com^F#plete^B. Well, I ^Ecouldn't blame my darlin', and ^E7who could help ^Afallin' In ^Elove with my ^Adarlin' ^Bso ^Esweet.

^EWell it must be the ^E7fault of the ^ATennessee ^EWaltz Wish I'd known just how ^C#mmuch it would ^F#cost.^B But I ^Edidn't see it comin', it's all ^E7over but the ^Acryin', Blame it ^Eall on the ^ATennes^Bsee ^EWaltz. #3. ^EHe goes dancin' with the darkness to the ^E7Tennessee ^AWaltz, and I ^Efeel like I'm ^C#mfalling a^F#part. ^B and it's ^Estronger than drink and it's ^E7deeper than ^Asorrow, this ^Edarkness he ^Aleft in ^Bmy ^Eheart.
