       D7                       
 I was dancin', with my darlin',
                  G     
 To the Tennessee Waltz,
         D7                     
 When an old friend, I happened,
               A            
 I happened to see, oh yeah.
         D7                    
 I intro-duced him, to my baby,
                     G7      
 And while they were dancin';
    D7              A7         
 My friend stole my sweetheart,
           D7  G7        D7  
 Away from me, oh yes he did.

 I re-member the night,
          G7                  D7    
 And that beautiful Tennessee Waltz,
 Now I know, just how much,
        A7       A7#5 
 I have lost, oh yeah.
                 D7                    
 You know that I lost my, lost my baby,
                        G7      
 The night they kept on playing,
      D7        A7        G7        D7   
 That beautiful Tennessee Waltz, oh yeah.
