Oh, my, but you have a pretty face,
You favor a girl that I knew,
I imagine that she´s still in Tennessee,
And, by God, I should be there, too
I´ve a sadness too sad to be true.
But I left Tennessee in a hurry, Dear,
The same way that I´m leaving you,
´Cause love is mainly just memories
And everyone´s got [Fm7]him a few,
So when I´m gone I´ll be [Am]glad to [C7]love you.
[Chorus]
At the brand [Bm]new Tennessee Waltz you´re lit ´rally waltzing on [C7]air;
At the brand [Bm]new Tennessee Waltz there ain´t no telling who will be [Am]there.
When I leave it´ll be [Am]like [F]I found you, Love,
Descending Victorian stairs,
I´m feeling like [F]one of your ρhotograρhs
I´m tɾapped while I´m putting on [C7]airs,
And getting even by asking, "Who cares".
So, have all [Em]of your passionate violins
Play a tune for [Dm7]a Tennessee kid,
Who´s feeling like [F]leaving another town
With no place to [C7]go if he did,
´Cause they´ll catch you [A7wherever you [A7hid.
