Intro:

    

Verse 1:

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

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