Ted; there is NO steel guitar in Chris Stapleton version and he changed the original melody of the song; to some blues sounding melody; that is NOT the song.
So it's not possible to tab that horrible version of a great classic song.

I have to play this Stapleton version in a group of my buds. I hate it. It's all I can do to keep from blowing a gasket and sometimes have to check myself from going to the chord progression. Many times, I use this as an opportunity to take a bathroom break.
I like some of Chris' stuff, but this one is just a bore to cover. Just needs a bar stool and a flat top, cafe style. No need or place for a band.
Why anyone would choose this over the real song is beyond me.
Anyway, you probably don't need any tab for this. It's just A runs to Bm runs over and over 'til we die. |

Yeah Dirk; and speaking of who's song it is; well Dean Dillion wrote it for David Allen Coe 1981. It was pitched to George Strait and he turned it down and George Jones loved it and recorded it in 1983-ish; and then Chris did what ever he felt he needed to do with the song recorded; and so therefore when it comes down to it; The Writer/Copywriters(also Linda Hargrove) are the ones that get paid per song and so they let who ever cut it however they want; they still get paid; no matter how its recorded; they sign the paper they let it go.
ALL ABOUT MONEY.
Ricky

Guess I was a little too critical. If they call the song and throw me a solo, I just play triplets starting at A pedals down at the fret 0, then slide to fret 5 open, and 8AF, 12 AB which gets us to Bm...pedal A at fret 10...back to 12 AB.
Other times, I just try to be creative and use the experience for coming up with new and/or different things.
Might as well try to do something melodic, if, after all we're stuck with it.
Doesn't mean I like it, but I have to play things all the time of which I'm not particularly fond.
I still don't get everybody's fascination with this version though. |

There is a trend as of lately. "Dumb it all down as much as possible!" Did both versions back to back with my six string guitar as a experiment, and was blow away with such a differences in melody phrasing.( i am no singer)

Oh absolutely. I'm with you. No comparison. I was just saying if I have to do it, maybe grit my teeth and find a way to make it more palatable suffering through it.
I can bail when we're just jamming but playing a show it's a little harder to do. |

Its similar to being at a live rodeo when barrel racers starts. Stampede to beer stand, or bathroom!! |

I totally get why some posters here prefer the original âcountryâ version of âTennessee Whiskeyâ; I love a good honky-tonk shuffle myself.
However, when our lead vocalist told us several months ago that he was going to sing the Chris Stapleton version, I gave it a listenâand liked it. Stapleton had re-imagined the groove as slow R&B. He changed the chord progression from 1, 4, 5 to 1, 2m, and altered the melody as well to be more bluesy.
I was completely amazed at the reception we gotâŚ
â We often get requests for the song, even from audiences who arenât aware that we know it!
â People fill the dance floor!
â Big round of applause every time we play it!
I looked up âTennessee Whiskeyâ on Wikipedia, and learned that George Jones' version reached number two on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in November 1983, and he usually included it in his live performances.
In 2015, after performing it at the CMA Awards, Stapletonâs version reached number one on the Hot Country Songs chart, and in 2019 was certified 6Ă Platinum for 6 million units sold in combined streams and sales.
Iâm sure the songâs composers, Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove, were delighted with the additional royalty checks they received from Stapletonâs re-imagined version!
Hereâs the Big QuestionâŚ
Isnât entertaining the audience what itâs all about?

IT IS DISRESPECTFUL to "re-imagine" a Song. It was written for David Allan Coe. Then two years later George Jones cut it. If you take all instruments out of the song and just listen to the Melody and Chord Progression of the song; David and George followed the original feel of how it was written and sang. Then Chris cut it; and take away all instruments and listen to his melody and chord progression and it DOES NOT follow the original Feel and melody of the song how it was written.
DISRESPECTFUL!!!! that's like saying: "I HATE the way it was originally written and sang"....>Well go write your own song of how you want to sing and be heard; but don't destroy someone ELSES song. So doesn't matter it being a shuffle; or swing or waltz or rock...a real song comes down to the story the songwriter wrote about with his feeling of the story through his melody and musical progression for feel.
Yes the world has become about the "MONEY" and no longer about the "MUSIC"; but don't confuse the two.

Thanks Erv. Main thing that bothers me now, is I have become a Producer of CD's for folks in the last 15 years and I take a LOT of pride in recording great Music that comes from every part of the Passion from the writers of songs, that means the WORLD to them. And when I hear music that does NOT care at all about that passion; It just kills me to hear it. THERE IS TOO MUCH OF IT ALREADY.....

Ricky, I completely respect and appreciate your dedication to the honky-tonk music tradition.
You seem concerned about what the composers of âTennessee Whiskeyâ thought about Chris Stapletonâs version of their song, and I got to wondering what Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove thought about it.
Hereâs what Dean Dillon said about it in a 2017 articleâŚ
âI pitched it first to [George] Strait, but he turned it down. I pitched it to [George] Jones and he had a number [two] with it. David Allan Coe cut it, and Brad Paisley cut it, and then a couple years ago Chris Stapleton was messing around with it during rehearsals and started playing it the way he plays it, and it had a whole new life of its own. I was blown away when I heard Stapletonâs version. I had written with Stapleton and I knew what kind of throat he had, and the first time I heard him sing it, I thought, âMan, thatâs got some big olâ legs on it.ââ
https://www.thecountrydaily.com/2017/04/04/hall-of-fame-songwriter-dean-dillon-shares-the-story-behind-tennessee-whiskey-and-talks-his-new-documentary/
It doesn't seem to me that Dean Dillon had any problems with Stapletonâs version. Iâm sure he didnât mind getting those additional royalty checks, either.
I hope that Dean Dillon's comments ease your mind somewhat.
- Dave
