The Brand New Tennessee Waltz

By Jesse Winchester

      D
Oh my but you have a pretty face
         G                       D
You favour a girl that I knew
     G                             D
I imagine that she's still in Tennessee
            A7                           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
The same way that Im leaving you
               G                         D
Because love is mainly just memories
         A7
And everyone's got him a few
                    A7                         D
So when I'm gone I'll be glad to love you

CHORUS:
                G          D
     At the brand new Tennessee waltz
      (D)                              A7
     You're literally waltzing on air
                  G           D
      At the brand new Tennessee waltz
       (D)                     A7             D
      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
Trapped while I'm putting on airs
And getting even by asking who cares

Repeat Chorus

So have all of your passionate violins
Play a song for a Tennessee kid
Who's feeling like leaving another town
With no place to go if he did
'Cause they'll catch you wherever you're hid

Repeat Chorus
Break (one verse) end
