 I was Ddancin' with my darlin to the D7Tennessee GWaltz
 When an Dold friend I Bmhappened to Esee. A 
 I introcduced him to my darlin' and D7while they were Gdancin'
 my Dfriend stole my Asweetheart from Dme.
 I Dremember the D7night and the GTennessee DWaltz
 'cause I know just how Bmmuch I have Elost A 
 Yes I Dlost my little darlin' the D7night they were Gplayin'
 That Dbeautiful ATennessee DWaltz

Now I wonder how a dance like the Tennessee Waltz

Could have broken my heart so complete

Well I couldn't blame my darlin', and who could help fallin'

In love with my darlin' so sweet

Well it must be the fault of the Tennessee Waltz

Wish I'd known just how much it would cost

But I didn't see it commin', it's all over but the cryin'

Blame it all on the Tennessee Waltz

She goes dancin' with the darkness to the Tennessee Waltz

and I feel like I'm falling apart

and it's stronger than drink and it's deeper than sorrow

this darkness she left in my heart
