Lyrics

Used to spend my nights out in bar (Dm)rooms.

Liq uor was the on ly love I’d (C)known.

But you res cued me from reach in’ for the bot (Dm)tom

and brought me back

from be in’ too far gone.

You’re as smooth

as Ten nes see whis (Dm)key,

you’re as sweet

as straw ber ry wine.

You’re as warm

as a glass of (Dm)bran dy,

and, hon ey, I stay stoned

on your love all the (C)time.

I’ve looked for love in all the same old (Dm)plac es.

Found the bot tom of a bot tle’s al ways dry.

But when you poured out your heart, I did n’t waste (Dm)it,

’cause there’s noth in’

like your love to get me high.

Yeah, and you’re as smooth

as Ten nes see whis (Dm)key,

you’re as sweet

as straw ber ry wine.

You’re as warm

as a glass of (Dm)bran dy,

and, hon ey, I stay stoned

on your love all the (C)time.

You’re as (C)time.

You’re as smooth

as Ten nes see whis (Dm)key,

Ten nes see whis key,

Ten nes see whis (C)key.

You’re as smooth

as Ten nes see whis (Dm)key,

Ten nes see whis key,

Ten nes see whis (C)key.

You’re as (C)key.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "(Smooth As) Tennessee Whiskey" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature C, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 75 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
