xI found this song at uwp.edu ../lyrics/f/folk/ posted by ?
In his lyric compilation Dean Engelhardt writes that
Leonard Cohen performed it at some concerts (does anybody know where and
when?).
I will put this song to nevada ../c/leonard_cohen
But before this song goes to nevada can somebody please add the songwriter,
a record where it's played and perhaps some melody.
That would be very great. Thank You very much, to all of You.
TENNESSEE WALTZ
By ?
[Intro]
|D|GDA|D|D|
[Verse 1]
D D7 G
I was dancin' with my darlin to the Tennessee Waltz
D Bm E A
When an old friend I happened to see.
D D7 G
I introduced him to my darlin' and while they were dancin'
D G D A D
my friend stole my sweetheart from me.
[Chorus 1]
D D7 G D
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Bm E A
'cause I know just how much I have lost
D D7 G
Yes I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin'
D G D A D
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
(solo, same as a verse)
[Chorus 1]
or CHORUS 1 alone again
[Verse 2]
D D7 G
Now I wonder how a dance like the Tennessee Waltze
D Bm E A
Could have broken my heart so complete
D D7 G
Well I couldn't blame my darlin', and who could help fallin'
D G D A D
In love with my darlin' so sweet
[Chorus 2]
D D7 G D
Well it must be the fault of the Tennessee Waltz
Bm E A
Wish I'd known just how much it would cost
D D7 G
But I didn't see it commin', it's all over but the cryin'
D G D A D
Blame it all on the Tennessee Waltz
(solo, same as a verse)
[Chorus 2]
New second verse written by Cohen
D D7 G
She goes dancin' with the darkness to the Tennessee Waltz
D Bm E A
and I feel like I'm falling apart
D D7 G
and it's stronger than drink and it's deeper than sorrow
D G D A D
this darkness she left in my heart
I remember the night ... (CHORUS 1)
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
