[Intro]
C  G  D  Em
 
 
[Verse 1]
      C               G     D  Em
I can still shut down a party
      C          G    D  Em
I can hang with anybody
             C      G              D        Em
I can drink whiskey and red wine, champagne all night
         C                 G              D
Little Scotch on the rocks and I'm fine, I'm fine
 
 
[Chorus 1]
                    C    G               D
But when I taste tequila,  baby I still see ya
        Em                          C      G                           D
Cutting up the floor in a sorority t-shirt, the same one you wore when we were
Em                  C   G                               D
   Sky high in Colorado, your lips pressed against the bottle
         Em                           C        G                    D       Em
Swearing on a Bible, baby, I'd never leave ya, I remember how bad I need ya
                C           G                 D  Em
When I taste tequila (when I, when I, when I)
                C           G                 D  Em
When I taste tequila (when I, when I, when I)
 
 
[Verse 2]
      C           G         D  Em
I can kiss somebody brand new
        C          G       D  Em
And not even think about you
            C         G                  D            Em
I can show up to the same bar, hear the same songs in my car
            C             G             D
Baby, your memory it only hits me this hard
 
 
[Chorus 2]
                C    G               D
When I taste tequila,  baby I still see ya
        Em                          C      G                           D
Cutting up the floor in a sorority t-shirt, the same one you wore when we were
Em                  C   G                               D
   Sky high in Colorado, your lips pressed against the bottle
         Em                           C        G                    D       Em
Swearing on a Bible, baby, I'd never leave ya, I remember how bad I need ya
                C           G                 D  Em
When I taste tequila (when I, when I, when I)
                C           G                 D  Em
When I taste tequila (when I, when I, when I)

[Bridge]
C                                                Em
I ain't even drunk, I ain't even drunk, and I'm thinking
C                                                    D
How I need your love, how I need your love, yeah it sinks in
 
 
[Chorus 3]
                C    G               D     Em
When I taste tequila,  baby I still see ya
          C      G                           D
Sorority t-shirt, the same one you wore when we were
Em                  C   G                               D
   Sky high in Colorado, your lips pressed against the bottle
         Em                           C        G                    D       Em
Swearing on a Bible, baby, I'd never leave ya, I remember how bad I need ya
                C           G                 D  Em
When I taste tequila (when I, when I, when I)
                C           G                 D  Em
When I taste tequila (when I, when I, when I)
                C           G                 D  Em
When I taste tequila (when I, when I, when I)
                C           G                 D  Em          G
When I taste tequila (when I, when I, when I),   ooh ooh-ooh

Great job! Thanks for sharing. For my voice, I like to love the capo around. Sometimes on the 1st fret other times on the 3rd. Not how he plays it but I have a tough time hitting the vocal notes when it’s on the 4th.
