These are the chords for Whiskey Sour by Kane Brown on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

[Intro]
C   G/B  Am  G  F  G

[Verse 1]
         C             G/B
We were two heartbeats away
              Am            G
From wedding rings and a pretty
            F
 ballgown dress
                      G
At the church off 40 West
             C
And we were talking 'bout
      G/B           Am
 our future on the steps
          G                  F
Of your daddy's screened in porch
                               G
That if I'd ask you'd tell me yes
          C           G/B
Well, it only took a month or
       Am              G
 so to be someone you used to know
     F
You didn't really have
                G
 to go but you did

          C            G/B
And I've never been a somber soul
     Am                G
But part of me ain't here no more
     F                              G
And I've been tryna find him ever since

[Chorus]
          C              G/B
So now I take my whiskey sour
         Am            G
Sitting barside after hours
          F             Em
Thinking how can I get over
        Dm              G
if the love was never ours?
         C               G/B
Hell, I know you got my message
      Am          G
All my Xs and my Os
         F              Em
And it kills me by the hour
       Dm               G     C
Now I take my whiskey sours alone

[Interlude]
C  G/B  Am  G  F  G

[Verse 2]
             C               G/B
'Cause that one night under neon

         Am                     G
Was the first time you ordered me one
         F
And you told me that you loved me
     G
But was it ever true?
              C            G/B
'Cause your promises were empty
          Am              G
Now I'm drinking one too many
  F                         G
Drowning out the memory of you

[Chorus]
          C              G/B
So now I take my whiskey sour
         Am            G
Sitting barside after hours
          F             Em
Thinking how can I get over
         Dm              G
if the love was never ours?
         C               G/B
Hell, I know you got my message
      Am          G
All my Xs and my Os
         F              Em
And it kills me by the hour
       Dm               G
Now I take my whiskey sours

[Bridge]
       Am
And I don't know why I do it
         G
It's supposed to help me through it
          F              Em
But it's harder when it always
             Dm
 tastes like you
          Am
And every time I hit rock bottom
         Em
I don't know what I should do
          F            Em
Should I call you up again or
           Dm                G
should I settle for round two?

[Chorus]
           C             G/B
And just take my whiskey sour
         Am             G
Sitting barside after hours
          F
Thinking how can I get over
         G
If the love was never ours?
          C              G/B
Hell, I know you got my message
      Am         G
All my Xs and my Os
         F              Em
And it kills me by the hour
       Dm               G     C
Now I take my whiskey sours alone

[Outro]
C  G/B  Am  G
         F
And it kills me by the hour
        G                    C
Now I take my whiskey sour alone

How to play Whiskey Sour: key, chords and progression

Whiskey Sour by Kane Brown is written in C major (no sharps or flats) and moves through 7 chords: C, G/B, Am, G, F, Em and Dm.

Most of the song cycles through C – G/B – Am – G (I – V – vi – V in C major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – lah – soh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar almost every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
