	        The Tennessee Waltz:Connie Francis. 
Hit the charts in 1959.(***I believe Francis sang only 
Verses #1 & #2 plus Chorus:#1, then repeated them. 
I added the other verse(#3) and Chorus(#2.) in case anyone  
was interested. The chords are my version.)   
#1. 
E                                   E7        A  
I was dancin' with my darlin to the Tennessee Waltz  
        E            C#m         F#   B  
When an old friend I happened to see.  
       E                           E7              A  
I introduced him to my darlin' and while they were dancin'  
   E               A          B    E  
my friend stole my sweetheart from me.  

Chorus:#1. 
E              E7            A         E  
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz  
                      C#m         F#   B  
cause I know just how much I have lost.  
      E                          E7              A  
Yes I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin'  
     E         A     B   E   
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz.  
#2.        
E                                 E7        A  
Now I wonder how a dance like the Tennessee Waltz  
           E         C#m         F#   B  
Could have broken my heart so complete.  
        E                              E7             A  
Well, I couldn't blame my darlin', and who could help fallin'  
   E            A       B  E  
In love with my darlin' so sweet.  
   
Chorus:#2. 
E                   E7           A         E  
Well it must be the fault of the Tennessee Waltz    
                        C#m           F#   B  
Wish I'd known just how much it would cost.                
      E                              E7           A  
But I didn't see it comin', it's all over but the cryin',    
         E          A     B   E  
Blame it all on the Tennessee Waltz.  
#3.         
E                                        E7        A  
He goes dancin' with the darkness to the Tennessee Waltz, 
      E             C#m      F#    B  
and I feel like I'm falling apart.  
         E                            E7          A   
and it's stronger than drink and it's deeper than sorrow,  
     E           A       B  E    
this darkness he left in my heart. 
   
Chorus:#1. 

A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
