I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz, 
         C           Am7         Dm7    G7 
When an old friend I happened to see; 
  Dm7   C        G7     C 
I introduced her to my loved one, 
      C7            F 
And while they were dancin', 
Dm7  C    C/B  Am7  Dm7       G7   C 
My friend stole my sweetheart from me. 
     C          E7            F7       C 
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz -- 
Dm7    C            Am7         Dm7  G7 
Now I know just how much I have lost. 
       C       G       C           C7             F 
Yes, I lost my little darlin' the night they were playing 
    C     Am7 G7          C 
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
