        (VERSE 1)

 [D]       I was dancin' with my da[D7]rlin to the[G] Tennessee Waltz

 [D]       When an[Bm] old friend I[E] happe[A]ned to see.

 [D]       I introduced him to my[D7] darlin' and whil[G]e they were dancin'

 [D]       my friend [G]stole [D]my swee[A]theart[D] from me.

        (CHORUS 1)

 [D]       I remem[D7]ber the night a[G]nd the Tenn[D]essee Waltz

 [Bm]       'cause[E] I kno[A]w just how much I have lost

 [D]       Yes I lost my little [D7]darlin' the night[G] they were playin'

 [D]       That[G] bea[D]utif[A]ul Te[D]nnessee Waltz

        (VERSE 2)

 [D]       Now I wonder how a dan[D7]ce like the[G] Tennessee Waltze

 [D]       Coul[Bm]d have broken[E] my he[A]art so complete

 [D]       Well I couldn't blame my [D7]darlin', and who[G] could help fallin'

 [D]       In love[G] wit[D]h my d[A]arli[D]n' so sweet

        (CHORUS 2)

 [D]       Well i[D7]t must be the [G]fault of th[D]e Tennessee Waltz

 [Bm]       Wish I'd[E] known [A]just how much it would cost

 [D]       But I didn't see it commin[D7]', it's all ov[G]er but the cryin'

 [D]       Blame[G] it [D]all [A]on th[D]e Tennessee Waltz

        (solo, same as a verse)
        (CHORUS 2)

New second verse written by Cohen

 [D]       She goes dancin' with the d[D7]arkness to [G]the Tennessee Waltz

 [D]       and I fe[Bm]el like I'[E]m fallin[A]g apart

 [D]       and it's stronger than [D7]drink and it'[G]s deeper than sorrow

 [D]       this da[G]rkness[D] she[A] lef[D]t in my heart

        I remember the night ...  (CHORUS 1)

        That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
