D5                     
Oh my, but you have a pretty face,
    G5                   D5
you favor I girl that I knew
   G5                         D5
I imagine that she's back in Tennessee,
       A5                      D5
and by God, I should be there too;
       A5                    D5
I've a sadness too sad to be true

      D5
But I left Tennessee in a hurry dear,
   G5                         D5
in same way that I'm leaving you
        G5                   D5
Because love is mainly just memories, you see,
    A5                    D5
and everyone's got him a few;
                         A5           D5
so when I'm gone I'll be glad to love you

       G5         D5      
At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,
                             A5
you're literally waltzing on air
       G5         D5
At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,
                   A5          D5
there's no telling who will be there

       D5
When I leave it will be like I found you love,
  G5                  D5
descending Victorian stairs
        G5                            D5
And I'm feeling like one of your old photographs, girl,
          A5                            D5
where I m trapped while I m putting on airs;
            A5                  D5
so I ll get even by saying who cares?

       G5         D5      
At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,
                             A5
you're literally waltzing on air
       G5         D5
At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,
                        A5          D5
there's just no telling who will be there


   D5
So have all of your passionate violins,
       G5                    D5
play a tune for a Tennessee kid
      G5                     D5
Who's feeling like leaving another town,
         A5                    D5
but with no place to go if he did;
              A5                        D5
cause they'll catch you wherever you're hid

       G5         D5      
At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,
                             A5
you're literally waltzing on air
       G5         D5
At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,
                        A5          D5
there's just no telling who will be there
