I was dancin' with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz

        D            Bm          E    A
When an old friend I happened to see.

I introduced him to my darlin' and while they were dancing

my friend stole my sweetheart from me.

'Cause I know just how much I have lost

Yes, I lost my little darling the night they were playing

      D                           D7        G
Now I wonder how a dance like the Tennessee Waltz

           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'

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 comin', it's all over but the cryin'

Blame it all on the Tennessee Waltz

Note: Leonard Cohen version [Verse 2]
         D                                D7        G
She goes dancin' with the darkness to the Tennessee Waltz
through
      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]
  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 darling the night they were playing

That beautiful Tennessee Waltz.
