Tennessee Waltz

Words & Music by Redd Steward & Pee Wee King, 1950

G      C      G       C               C7        F
I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz,

         C           Am7         Dm7    G7
When an old friend I happened to see;

  Dm7   C        G7     C
I introduced her to my loved one,

      C7            F
And while they were dancin',

Dm7  C    C/B  Am7  Dm7       G7   C
My friend stole my sweetheart from me.

     C          E7            F7       C
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz --

Dm7    C            Am7         Dm7   G7
Now I know just how much I have lost.

       C       G       C           C7             F
Yes, I lost my little darlin' the night they were playing

    C     Am7 G7          C
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz.
