Verse 1:
A augmentedA
Oh, my, but you have a pretty face
  D MajorD    E MajorE      A augmentedA
You favour a girl that I knew
  D MajorD              A augmentedA
I imagine that she's still in Tennessee
    E MajorE            A augmentedA
And, by God
I should be there, too
    E MajorE           A augmentedA
I've a sadness too sad to be true

Verse 2:
A augmentedA
Well I left Tennessee in a hurry, dear
  D MajorD       E MajorE      A augmentedA
The same way that I'm leaving you
  D MajorD          A augmentedA
But love is mainly just memories
  E MajorE          A augmentedA
And everyone's got him a few
      E MajorE             A augmentedA
So when I'm gone I'll be glad to love you

    D MajorD     A augmentedA
At the brand new Tennessee Waltz
               E MajorE
You're literally waltzing on air
    D MajorD     A augmentedA
At the brand new Tennessee Waltz

There's no telling who will be there

A augmentedA
When I leave it'll be like I found you, love
  D MajorD     E MajorE   A augmentedA
Descending Victorian stairs
D MajorD            A augmentedA
Feeling like one of your photographs
E MajorE              A augmentedA
Trapped while I'm putting on airs
      E MajorE          A augmentedA
And getting even by saying: "Who cares"

There's no telling who will be there


Verse 4:
BB
So, let all of your passionate violins
    E MajorE     F#F#    BB
Play a tune for a Tennessee kid
   E MajorE           BB
Who's feeling like leaving another town
   F#F#          BB
With no place to go if he did
        F#F#            BB
'Cause they'll catch you wherever you're hid

At the brand new Tennessee Waltz
          F#F#     BB
There's no telling who will be there
