I found this song at uwp.edu ../lyrics/f/folk/  posted by ?                           
                            
In his lyric compilation Dean Engelhardt writes that
Leonard Cohen performed it at some concerts (does anybody know where and
when?). 


I will put this song to nevada ../c/leonard_cohen
But before this song goes to nevada can somebody please add the songwriter,                            
a record where it's played and perhaps some melody.  

That would be very great. Thank You very much, to all of You.

New second verse written by Cohen

                 D (xx0232@1)                              D7 (xx0212@1)      G (320003@1)       She goes dancin' with the darkness to the Tennessee Waltz

                 D (xx0232@1)                          D7 (xx0212@1)        G (320003@1)        and it's stronger than drink and it's deeper than sorrow
             D (xx0232@1)          G (320003@1)  D (xx0232@1)A (x02220@1)D (xx0232@1)
        this darkness she left in my heart

        I remember the night ...  (CHORUS 1)

        That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
