"Tennessee Waltz"

Yester-day, I figured out the chords for "Tennessee Waltz."  I think I'd noticed before that while it's called the "Tennessee Waltz," it's not actually a waltz; it's in 4/4.  Yester-day, I realized that this may have significance.  It seems that because the narrator's friend stole his darling while the Tennessee Waltz was playing, the narrator is now trying to avoid waltzes, so although he's relating this story, he's doing it in a different meter.
