A7A7 Piano Chord 
                           DD Piano Chord 

And by God I should be there too
A7A7 Piano Chord 
                           DD Piano Chord 

I've a sadness too sad to be true
DD Piano Chord 

But I left Tennessee in a hurry dear

So when I'm gone I'll be glad to love you

CHORUS:
GG Piano Chord 
          DD Piano Chord 

At the brand new Tennessee waltz
(D)                              A7A7 Piano Chord 

You're literally waltzing on air
GG Piano Chord 
           DD Piano Chord 

At the brand new Tennessee waltz
(DD Piano Chord 
)                     A7A7 Piano Chord 
             DD Piano Chord 

There's no telling who will be there

When I leave it'll be like I found you love
Descending Victorian stairs
I'm feeling like one of your photographs
Trapped while I'm putting on airs
And getting even by asking who cares

Repeat Chorus

So have all of your passionate violins
Play a song for a Tennessee kid
Who's feeling like leaving another town
With no place to go if he did
'Cause they'll catch you wherever you're hid

Repeat Chorus
Break (one verse) end
