Chords for Leonard Cohen - Tennessee Waltz - 1985

_ Thank you friends.
I'd like to play another song so we can keep quiet for a second.
_ Thanks a lot.
I really appreciate the reception you've given us tonight and
speaking for myself personally not only tonight but for the attention [D] you've
paid to my songs [C#]
through these [D] years.
I thank you very [B] much for that.
But don't
clap now because I want to say a little tiny thing.
When I was in the
_ distinguished Hotel [G] Victoria in _ _ _ _ _ _ which_
Is that the name of it?
Yeah that's the name of it.
[E] You know you get to see a lot of hotels [D#] when you're on the road sometimes you forget
[D] the name.
But we've been very hospitably treated at the Hotel Victoria and a
young man came up to me this evening.
[C#m] He shook my hand and he was the president
of the Country Western Music Association of Poland.
_ _ That's the kind of music that
is very dear to my heart.
[D#] I don't know if he made it to the concert tonight but he
[G#] gave me a [E] very beautiful pin.
[C#] Gave us a few pins and I really
appreciate that and I don't know somehow that dissolves all the other concerns
that we've approached this evening.
[D#] For this man I know he was a man that worked
hard because his hand [C] was calloused and he'd done some hard work in his life and
[D] I want to dedicate this song to him and all of us.
It's a song I didn't [B] write but
it's a country western [C] song that I've loved [C#] for a long time.
I wrote a few extra words to [G] it
but it doesn't change it much.
Here it is. _ _ _ _

[C] _ _ [G] My friends stole my sweet heart from me.
_ _ _ I'll remember [B] the night [C] and the Tennessee [G] waltz.
Yes I know just how much I [D] have lost.
_ _ _ _ [G]
Yes I lost my little darling.
The night [C] they were playing [G] the beautiful [D] _ _ [G] Tennessee Waltz.
Play it Ron. _

and [C] the Tennessee [G] _
Waltz.
Cause I know just how much I [D] have lost.
[G] _ _ [D] Yes [G] I lost my little darling.
I'll remember the [A] night [C] they were playing [G] the beautiful [D] _ _
[G] Tennessee Waltz.
She _ goes dancing through the darkness to the Tennessee [C] Waltz.
[G] And I feel like I'm falling but [D] _ _ _ _ _
[G] it's stronger than drink and it's deeper _ [C] than sorrow.
[G] This darkness she [D] left in [G] my heart. _ _
_ I'll remember _ _ [B] _ _
[C] and the _ [G] Tennessee Waltz.
Cause I know just how much I [D] have lost. _
_ _ _ [G] Yes I lost my little darling.
The night they [C] were playing [G] the _ [D] beautiful _ [G] Tennessee [A] Waltz.
_ [C] _ _ [G] That _ beautiful _ [D] _ _ Tennessee _ Waltz. _ _ _ _ _ _
