        (VERSE 1)
              D                    
        I was dancin' with my 
         D7        G
darlin to the Tennessee Waltz
                D           
        When an old friend I 
 Bm          E    A
happened to see.
               D              
        I introduced him to my 
             D7              G
darlin' and while they were dancin'
           D              
        my friend stole my 
 G    D     A    D
sweetheart from me.

        (CHORUS 1)
          D            D7         
        I remember the night and 
   G         D
the Tennessee Waltz
                               Bm  
        'cause I know just how much
        E    A
 I have lost
              D                    
        Yes I lost my little 
      D7              G
darlin' the night they were playin'
             D         G  D  A   
        That beautiful Tennessee 
D
Waltz

        (VERSE 2)
              D                 
        Now I wonder how a dance 
          D7        G
like the Tennessee Waltze
                   D         Bm   
        Could have broken my heart
       E    A
 so complete
               D                
        Well I couldn't blame my 
              D7             G
darlin', and who could help fallin'
           D            G  D    A
        In love with my darlin' so 
  D
sweet


        (CHORUS 2)
                D           D7    
        Well it must be the fault 
       G         D
of the Tennessee Waltz
                                Bm 
        Wish I'd known just how 
           E     A
much it would cost
              D                    
        But I didn't see it 
           D7           G
commin', it's all over but the 
cryin'
                 D         
        Blame it all on the 
 G  D  A   D
Tennessee Waltz

        (CHORUS 2)


New second verse written by Cohen

                 D               
        She goes dancin' with the 
                 D7        G
darkness to the Tennessee Waltz
              D             Bm    
        and I feel like I'm 
   E      A
falling apart
                 D                 
        and it's stronger than 
           D7          G
drink and it's deeper than sorrow
             D            G    D  
        this darkness she left in 
A  D
my heart

        I remember the night ...  
(CHORUS 1)

        That beautiful Tennessee 
Waltz
