Used to spend my nights out
in bar (Bm)rooms.
Liq uor was the on ly love I’d known.
But you res cued me from reach in’ for the bot tom
and brought me back
from be in’ too far gone.
You’re as smooth
as Ten nes see whis key,
you’re as sweet
as straw ber ry wine.
You’re as warm
as a glass of bran (Bm)dy,
and, hon ey, I stay stoned
on your love all the (A)time.
I’ve looked for love in all the same old plac (Bm)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 (Bm)it,
’cause there’s noth in’
like your love to get me high.
Yeah, and you’re as smooth

you’re as sweet

Tennessee Whiskey — Visual Piano Sheet Music
51 people have learned this song
"Tennessee Whiskey" in visual bar notation — see every note as a colored bar on the staff. Easier to read than traditional sheet music. Scrolls automatically as you play. Key of A, 84 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with a smooth, slow groove — at 84 BPM with just two chords, A and Bm, your main challenge isn't complexity but feel.
Your left hand plays a block bass pattern, so focus on keeping those low notes steady and unhurried; resist the urge to rush through the simplicity.
The A to Bm transition is small — you're only shifting up a whole step — but it needs to land cleanly and right on time, so practice that move hands-separate until it feels automatic.
Once both hands are comfortable, bring them together at half tempo and really listen for evenness between your hands.
A common stumbling point here is letting the right-hand melody drag or drift rhythmically because the song feels so relaxed; try counting eighth notes quietly to yourself to stay anchored.
Use a touch of sustain pedal, lifting cleanly on each chord change to avoid muddiness.
This is the piece that'll teach you how much musicality you can pull from minimal harmony — dynamics and timing are everything here, so play it like you mean every single note.
