[Verse 1]
A Bm
I used to spend my nights out in a barroom
A A6sus4 A (fill)
Liquor was the only love I’d known
Bm
But you rescued me from reachin’ for the bottom
A A6sus4 A
And brought me back from being too far gone
[Chorus]
A A6sus4 A Bm
You’re as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
A A6sus4 A
You’re as sweet as strawberry wine
Bm
You’re as warm as a glass of brandy
A A6sus4 A
And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time
[Verse 2]
A Bm
I’ve looked for love in all the same old places
A A6sus4 A (fill)
Found the bottom of a bottle always dry
Bm
But when you poured out your heart I didn’t waste it
A A6sus4 A
‘Cause there’s nothing like your love to get me high
[Chorus]
A A6sus4 A Bm
You’re as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
A A6sus4 A
You’re as sweet as strawberry wine
Bm
You’re as warm as a glass of brandy
A A6sus4 A
And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time
[Solo]
[Chorus]
A A6sus4 A Bm
You’re as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
A A6sus4 A
You’re as sweet as strawberry wine
Bm
You’re as warm as a glass of brandy
A A6sus4 A
And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time

For the quick A6sus4, play that chord John Lennon used all over the Let It Be album:
e|-(5)-------------|
B|--3--------------|
G|--2--------------|
D|--4--------------|
A|--0--------------|
E|-----------------|
(fifth fret on the E string is optional - I usually just mute it)
Also, feel free to play a D in place of that or just a regular Asus4
