[Verse 1]
 
A                                      Bm
I used to spend my nights out in a barroom
                                 A  D/A  A (fill)
Liquor was the only love I’d known
                                           Bm
But you rescued me from reachin’ for the bottom
                                         A  D/A  A
And brought me back from being too far gone
 
 
[Chorus]
 
A             D/A   A              Bm
You’re as smooth      as Tennessee whiskey
                                 A  D/A  A
You’re as sweet as strawberry wine
                               Bm
You’re as warm as a glass of brandy
                                                A  D/A  A
And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
A                                      Bm
I’ve looked for love in all the same old places
                                 A  D/A  A (fill)
Found the bottom of a bottle always dry
                                           Bm
But when you poured out your heart I didn’t waste it
                                        A  D/A   A
‘Cause there’s nothing like your love to get me high
 
 
[Chorus]
 
A             D/A   A              Bm
You’re as smooth      as Tennessee whiskey
                                 A  D/A  A
You’re as sweet as strawberry wine
                               Bm
You’re as warm as a glass of brandy
                                                A  D/A  A
And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time
 
 
[Solo]
 
 
[Chorus]
 
A             D/A   A              Bm
You’re as smooth      as Tennessee whiskey
                                 A  D/A  A
You’re as sweet as strawberry wine
                               Bm
You’re as warm as a glass of brandy
                                                A  D/A  A
And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time

For the quick D/A, play that chord John Lennon used all over the Let It Be album:
e|-(5)-------------|
B|--3--------------|
G|--2--------------|
D|--4--------------|
A|--0--------------|
E|-----------------|
(fifth fret on the E string is optional - I usually just mute it)
Also, feel free to play a D in place of that or just a regular Asus4.
