Tennessee Whiskey

Biography:

By most accounts, George Jones (born George Glenn Jones September 12, 1931 in Saratoga, Texas, died April 26, 2013, in Nashville, Tennessee), was the finest vocalist in the recorded history of country music. Initially, he was a hardcore honky tonker in the tradition of Hank Williams, but over the course of his career he developed an affecting, nuanced ballad style. In the course of his career, he never left the top of the country charts, even as he suffered innumerable personal and professional difficulties.

Tennessee Whiskey
recorded by George Jones
written by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove

Capo 1st Fret

[Verse]
E A E
I used to spend my nights in a barroom
B7
Liquor was the only friend I knew
E A E
But you rescued me from reaching for the bottle
B7 E
And you brought me back from being too far gone

[Chorus]
E A E
You're as smo-oth as Tennessee whiskey
B7
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
E E7 A
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
E B7 E
And I stay stoned on your love all the time

[Verse]
E A E
I looked for love in all the wrong places
B7
Found the bottom of the bottle always dry
E A E
But when you poured out your love I didn't waste it
B7 E
Cause there nothing like your love to get me high

[Chorus]
E A E
You're as smo-oth as Tennessee whiskey
B7
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
E E7 A
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
E B7 E
And I stay stoned on your love all the time
