[VERSE 1]
E
Oh my, but you have a pretty face,
A E
you favor I girl that I knew
A E
I imagine that she's still in Tennessee,
B E
by God, I should be there too
B7 E
I've a sadness too sad to be true
[VERSE 2]
E
But I left Tennessee in a hurry dear,
A E
the same way that I'm leaving you
A E
Because love is mainly just memories,
B E
and everyone's got them a few
B7 E
so when I'm gone I'll be glad to love you
[CHORUS]
A E
At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,
B
literally waltzing on air
A E
At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,
B7 E
there's no telling who will be there
[VERSE 3]
E
When I leave it will be like I found you love,
A E
descending Victorian stairs
A E
And I'm feeling like one of your photographs
B E
trapped while I'm putting on airs
B7 E
and gettin' even by asking who cares?
[CHORUS]
A E
At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,
B
literally waltzing on air
A E
At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,
B7 E
there's no telling who will be there
[VERSE]
E
So have all of your passionate violins,
A E
play a tune for a Tennessee kid
A E
Who's feeling like leaving another town,
B E
with no place to go if he did
B7 E
cause they'll catch you wherever you're hid
[CHORUS]
A E
At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,
B
literally waltzing on air
A E
At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,
B7 E
there's no telling who will be there
