VERSE ONE 
 
      G                              G7        C 
I was dancin' with my darlin to the Tennessee Waltz 
        G             Em         A   D 
When an old friend I happened to see. 
   G                                G7             C 
I introduced him to my darlin' and while they were dancin' 
    G               D               G 
my friend stole my sweet-heart from me.

   G           G7             C         G 
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz 
                       Em           A   D 
Only you know just how much I have lost 
       G                         G7               C 
Yes I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin'

That beautiful Tennessee Waltz

VERSE TWO 
          G                                G7        C 
She goes dancin' with the darkness to the Tennessee Waltz 
       G             Em      A    D 
and I feel like I'm falling apart 
          G                            G7          C  
and it's stronger than drink and it's deeper than sorrow 
      G            D         G   
this darkness she left in my heart

Yes I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin'
