[VERSE 1]
E                     
Oh my, but you have a pretty face,
    A                   E
you favor I girl that I knew
   A                       E
I imagine that she's still in Tennessee,
       B                      E
by God, I should be there too
       B7                    E
I've a sadness too sad to be true

[VERSE 2]
      E
But I left Tennessee in a hurry dear,
    A                         E
the same way that I'm leaving you
         A                   E
Because love is mainly just memories,
    B                     E
and everyone's got them a few
                         B7           E
so when I'm gone I'll be glad to love you

[CHORUS]
       A         E      
At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,
                       B
literally waltzing on air
       A         E
At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,
                   B7          E
there's no telling who will be there

[VERSE 3]
       E
When I leave it will be like I found you love,
  A                  E
descending Victorian stairs
        A                         E
And I'm feeling like one of your photographs
B                             E
trapped while I'm putting on airs
            B7                  E
and gettin' even by asking who cares?

[CHORUS]
       A         E      
At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,
                       B
literally waltzing on air
       A         E
At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,
                   B7          E
there's no telling who will be there

[VERSE]
   E
So have all of your passionate violins,
       A                    E
play a tune for a Tennessee kid
      A                     E
Who's feeling like leaving another town,
      B                    E
with no place to go if he did
              B7                        E
cause they'll catch you wherever you're hid

[CHORUS]
       A         E      
At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,
                      B
literally waltzing on air
       A         E
At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,
                    B7          E
there's no telling who will be there
