Joan Baez – The Brand New Tennessee Waltz (Guitar)

A
Oh, my, but you have a pretty face

    D        E           A
You favour a girl that I knew

   D                            A
I imagine that she's still in Tennessee

        E                       A
And, by God, I should be there, too

       E                     A
I've a sadness too sad to be true

A
Well I left Tennessee in a hurry, dear

    D             E           A
The same way that I'm leaving you

    D                   A
But love is mainly just memories

    E                    A
And everyone's got him a few

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

       D         A
At the brand new Tennessee Waltz

                             E
You're literally waltzing on air

       D         A
At the brand new Tennessee Waltz

                   E           A
There's no telling who will be there

A
When I leave it'll be like I found you, love

   D          E      A
Descending Victorian stairs

D                        A
Feeling like one of your photographs

E                            A
Trapped while I'm putting on airs

            E                    A
And getting even by saying: "Who cares"

       D         A
At the brand new Tennessee Waltz

                             E
You're literally waltzing on air

       D         A
At the brand new Tennessee Waltz

                   E           A  B
There's no telling who will be there

B
So, let all of your passionate violins

       E          F#        B
Play a tune for a Tennessee kid

      E                     B
Who's feeling like leaving another town

     F#                   B
With no place to go if he did

               F#                        B
'Cause they'll catch you wherever you're hid

       E         B
At the brand new Tennessee Waltz

                             F#
You're literally waltzing on air

       E         B
At the brand new Tennessee Waltz

                   F#          B
There's no telling who will be there
