[Prechorus]

Eb
I used to try to forget her
Bb Gm
But now I smile when I remember

[Chorus]

Eb
Leaves are fallin’, it’s September
The night came in and made her shiver
Bb
I told her she could have my jacket
Gm
Wrapped it tight around her shoulders
Eb Bb
And I was so young ’til she kissed me
Gm Eb
Like a whiskey, like a whiskey

How to play Whiskey: key, chords and progression

THIS IS THE CHORD PROGRESSION OF WHISKEY BY MAROON 5 AND ASAP ROCKY ON PIANO, GUITAR, UKULELE AND KEYBOARD.

Whiskey by Maroon 5 is built around E♭ major (three flats: B♭, E♭, A♭), with 3 chords in all: Eb, Bb and Gm.

Most of the song cycles through Eb – Bb – Gm – Eb (I – V – iii – I in E♭ major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – mi – doh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes C, G, Em (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
