Lyrics and Chords
[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
