[Verse 1]
G
 
G                            Am
Used to spend my nights at a barroom
                              G    C/G   G
Liquor was the only love I've known
G                                        Am
But you rescued me from reaching for the bottom
                                       G    C/G   G
And brought me back from being too far gone
 
 
[Chorus]
G                                  Am
You're as smooooooth, as Tennessee whiskey
                                   G    C/G   G
You're as sweeeeeeet as strawberry wine
G                                  Am
You're as waaaarrrrm as a glass of brandy
                                             G    C/G   G
And honey I stay stoned on your love all the time
 
 
[Verse 2]
G                                        Am
I’ve looked for love in all the same old places
                                        G    C/G   G
Found the bottom of the bottle's always drrryyy
G                                           Am
But when you poured out your heart I didn't waste it
                                             G
Cause there nothing like your love to get me hiiiiigggh. You're as
 
 
[Chorus]
G                        Am
Smooooooth, as Tennessee whiskey
                                   G    C/G   G
You're as sweeeeeeet as strawberry wine
G                                  Am
You're as waaaarrrrm as a glass of brandy
                                             G    C/G   G
And honey I stay stoned on your love all the time

                                   G    C/G   G
You're as sweeeeeeet as strawberry wine

You're as smooooooth, as Tennessee whiskey

you have brought my sub par skills of singing in the shower and my flash confient guitar skills together to not only sing it of key but also play it off rhythm and all the while being happy as can be. Thank you for your brilliance

All is good except for the part where you add a C ....if you listen real close...he stays on the Am for fore beats instead...anyways thats what my ear tells me .....Also .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gCO7K7A2xs
