The Brand New Tennessee Waltz

G D A7 D

D
Oh my, but you have a pretty face,
    G                   D
you favor I girl that I knew
   G                         D
I imagine that she's back in Tennessee,
       A                      D
and by God, I should be there too;
       A7                    D
I've a sadness too sad to be true

      D
But I left Tennessee in a hurry dear,
   G                         D
in same way that I'm leaving you
        G                   D
Because love is mainly just memories, you see,
    A                    D
and everyone's got him a few;
                         A7           D
so when I'm gone I'll be glad to love you

       G         D
At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,
                             A
you're literally waltzing on air
       G         D
At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,
                   A7          D
there's no telling who will be there

       D
When I leave it will be like I found you love,
  G                  D
descending Victorian stairs
        G                            D
And I'm feeling like one of your old photographs, girl,
          A                            D
where I m trapped while I m putting on airs;
            A7                  D
so I ll get even by saying who cares?

       G         D
At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,
                             A
you're literally waltzing on air
       G         D
At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,
                        A7          D
there's just no telling who will be there


   D
So have all of your passionate violins,
       G                    D
play a tune for a Tennessee kid
      G                     D
Who's feeling like leaving another town,
         A                    D
but with no place to go if he did;
              A7                        D
cause they'll catch you wherever you're hid

       G         D
At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,
                             A
you're literally waltzing on air
       G         D
At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,
                        A7          D
there's just no telling who will be there
