THE BRAND NEW TENNESSEE WALTZ
(Jesse Winchester)

      D
Oh my but you have a pretty face
G D
You favor 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 I'm 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

G D
CHORUS: 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. 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. CHORUS

Break (one verse) end
