Used to spend my nights out

Liq uor was the on ly love I’d known.
But you res cued me from reach in’ for the bot tom

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

Tennessee Whiskey — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
117 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Tennessee Whiskey" by Chris Stapleton: lyrics on screen with the chords above each line and a bouncing ball that lands on every word in time. Sing along, or play along on guitar or piano from the chord chart. Change the key to fit your voice, slow the tempo down. 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.
