I was waltzing with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz

I introduced her to my loved one and while they were waltzin' 
G                 D                G 
My friend stole my sweetheart from me 
 
G               D               C      G 
I remember that night and the Tennessee Waltz 
G                   Em          D 
Now I know just how much I have lost
