Biography:
Bonnie Raitt, (born November 8, 1949) is an American blues and R&B singer, songwriter, and guitarist who was born in Burbank, California, the daughter of Broadway musical star John Raitt.
Raitt began playing guitar at an early age, something not a lot of her high school girlfriends did. "I had played a little at school and at camp," she later recalled in a July 2002 interview. "My parents would drag me out to perform for my family, like all parents do, but it was a hobby—nothing more.

( Capital 'M' means Major, small 'm' means minor,
i.e. GM7 means GMajor7th. G9 and GM9 still play the
flattened 7th but add the 9th as well(or 2nd).]
Remember that it's 3/4 waltz timing. Learn to sing this
"on the beat" at first,then listen again to the above
video the learn how and when to sing "behind the beat".
The chords have been carefully placed to sing "on the beat".
The best thing about this version is the bluesy transition
chords and fill-ins. A guitar can play the basic chords done
by Norah Jones on piano. Learn these basic chords and timing
first, then re-listen to the video. The turnaround at the end
of the first two choruses, after the word 'waltz', can be done
as follows:
for the 'G', play the descending notes B D B, Bb Db Bb, A C A, G.
for the 'D7', play the bass walk-up C C# D, then walk on up to the G.
All three verses and both choruses have been added so
that you can play or practice longer variations, adding fuller and
more colorful chords as the song progresses. Bonnie and Norah
only do the first verse, chorus, long instrumentals, and repeat the
first chorus. Only Emmylou Harris sings all the verses.
Hope this has been helpful.)

[Verse 1]
G GM7 G7 C
I was dancin' with my darlin to the Tennessee Waltz
G Em Am Am7 D D7
When an old friend I happened to see.
G GM7 G7 C
I introduced him to my darlin' and while they were dancin'
G D7 G
My friend stole my sweetheart from me.
[Chorus 1]
G B7 C G
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz

Well I couldn't blame my darlin', and who could help fallin'
G D7 G
In love with my darlin' so sweet
[Chorus 2]
G B7 C G
Well it must be the fault of the Tennessee Waltz
G Eadd9 A A7 D D7

G D7 G G D7
Blame it all on the Tennessee Waltz
[Verse 3]
G GM7 G9 C
She goes dancin' with the darkness to the Tennessee Waltz
G Em Am Am7 D D7
And I feel like I'm falling apart

And it's stronger than drink and it's deeper than sorrow
G D9 G
This darkness she left in my heart
[Chorus 1]
G B7 C G
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
