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
