Chords for How to Play - Tennessee Whiskey - Chris Stapleton - Guitar Lesson-Tutorial

_ Our next lesson is going to be [G] Tennessee Whiskey as performed by Chris Stapleton and Justin Timberlake at the
2015 [B] CMA Awards.
If you've never heard this song before Chris Stapleton recorded it,
then look up George Jones and you will see a marked [A#] difference between the two.
Chris Stapleton definitely gave this song the soul it deserves.
[C#] Now Tennessee Whiskey has a pretty basic chord progression.
[B] It only has two chords, A and B minor.
The rhythm is set up in a way that gives the song a bluesy sound.
Pay close attention to my strumming hand in this song.
You will see me over exaggerate some of the down strokes.
When you see that, as soon as I play it, I will raise my left hand or chord hand
just enough to mute the strings before the next down stroke.
Now before we get into this song, I want to show you the opening lick that Chris Stapleton plays.
It's a short lick, but makes this version of the song sound really cool.
_ [G] Okay, let's [A#] get started.
[E] Okay, we begin the opening lick first by picking the top E string open _ and [Em] then placing our second finger in the second fret on the E [F#] string,
picking [A] it again. _
Then we move down and we pick the A string open and [B] then place our second finger in second string on the A string.
_ _ Just raise it slightly just to mute it and then back down again [C#] sliding to the fourth fret. _ _
[B] Then you move back to the second fret _ _
playing [C#] again
and [E] slide [G] back to the second fret.
[A] Play it open
[B] and then closed [C#] again
just _ [F#] _ _ [B] _ [C#] _
[A] _ [C#m] _ _ [B] _ [A] _ _ [Em] like so.
So it's going to sound something [E] like this.
_ [A] _ [B] _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ [B] _ [A] _ [C#] _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ [C#m] _ [B] _ _
_ _ [C#] _ [B] _ [A] _ _ _ _
Last two notes being plucked on the A string open. _
That's it.
That's pretty basic.
_ Okay, let's get started on the song. _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ [A] Used to spend my nights [Bm] out at the bar room
_ Look _ _ _ _ _ _ what the young love [A] I done _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ But she left me a big [Bm] full bottle
_ _ And _ brought me back
Three years [A] before I'm gone
_ [D] _ [A] _ _
_ Oh, sweet
_ [A] Sweet, _ [Bm] sweet, sweet
_ _ _ You're _ _ a _ _ sweetie
So [A] very wild

I'm [Bm] surrounded by _ _ _ _ _ sisters
_ I'm your girl for all [A] time _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ I've looked for love
[Bm] Lost in this world _
Found _ _ _ _ a bottle of my heart
And [A] it's dry
_ I've been waiting for The [G] day [A] _ _ When you
Pulled out your
_ [Bm] Tenuous face _ _ _
But there's nothing
Like your love
In [A] the air _ _ _ _ _
_ Sweet, _ _ _ _ sweet, [Bm] sweet
_ _ You're _ a _ _ _ sweetie
So [A] very wild _ _ _ _
I'm _ _ _ _ _ surrounded by
_ [Bm] _ _ Sisters _ _ _
_ I'm _ your girl for _ [A] all time
Bring it in! _

[F#m] Tenuous [B] face _ _ _ _
You're [G] a _ _ [B] sweet
So [A] very wild _ _ _
