Tennessee Whiskey Chords Chart

 
 


Welcome to my Tennessee Whiskey chords chart by Chris Stapleton. This is a very laid back song and has a pretty cool groove to it. The key to this song is dynamics and not killing to guitar. You have to be gentle with your playing. The chords are not too bad, mostly A, D and E but Bm pops in every once in a while.

You can play and "easy version" of Bm using the diagram below.

A   Bm D A

VERSE:

A                                                                    Bm
Used to spend my nights out in a barroom
D                                                            A   
 Liquor was the only love I’ve known
A                                                                                Bm
But you rescued me from reachin’ for the bottom
                                D                                              A
And brought me back from being too far gone


CHORUS:
                      A                                                 Bm
You’re as smooth       as Tennessee whiskey
                        D                                           A
You’re as sweeeeet as strawberry wine
                     A                                   Bm
You’re as warm as a glass of brandy
                                   D                                             A
And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time
