Oh you have such a pretty face
You favor a girl I once knew
I imagine that she’s in Tennessee
Oh lord I should be there too
But I left Tennessee in a hurry dear
The same way that I’m leaving you
For love is mainly just memories
And everyone’s got ’em but few
It’s a brand new Tennessee waltz
You’re literally waltzing on air
It’s a brand new Tennessee waltz
There’s no telling who will be there
When I leave it’ll be like I found you love
Descending victorian stairs
I’m feeling like one of your photographs
With not even you left to care
Have all your passionate violins play
A tune for a Tennessee kid
Who’s feeling like leaving another town
With no place to go if he did
[1] Oh you have such a pretty face
You [4] favor a girl I once [1] knew
I i-[4]-magine that she’s in [1] Tennessee
Oh lord I [5] should be there [1] too
But I left Tennessee in a hurry dear
The same way that I’m leaving you
For love is mainly just memories
And everyone’s got ’em but few
It’s a [4] brand new Tennessee [1] waltz
You’re literally waltzing on [5] air
It’s a [4] brand new Tennessee [1] waltz
There’s no telling [5] who will be [1] there
When I leave it’ll be like I found you love
Descending victorian stairs
I’m feeling like one of your photographs
With not even you left to care
Have all your passionate violins play
A tune for a Tennessee kid
Who’s feeling like leaving another town
With no place to go if he did
