[Intro]
D     F#m  G
D     F#m  G

[Verse]
 D
Used to be our picture from
      F#m      D       G
 her sister's wedding day
D
There on her lock screen now
      F#m       D       G
it's just some ocean waves

 D
Used to be a buncha hearts
F#m    D       G
Right there beside my name

 D
She used to never miss one
                     G
But these days that girl
       D/F#      Em
 just let's it ring
        G
Ah, but if she don't one day
I'd say

[Chorus]
 D
Damn it's good to hear
your voice
      F#m               G
Feels like it's been forever
 D
Ask her how's her mom and them
    F#m                    G
And how's that west coast weather?
 D
Yeah, I know it's late I'm sorry
F#m            G
No, I swear I ain't that drunk
   D
I know she won't and
 I don't blame her
                 G
But if she ever picked it up

    Em7               D
I'd tell her it's my fault
              G
and I still love her
              Em7
But she quit taking calls
       G         D        F#m  G
 from Tennessee numbers

[Verse]
D
I bet she hides her accent
           F#m       D           G
so no one asks her where she's from
 D
Steers clear of whiskey
           F#m
 'cause it stirs them
  D       G
memories up

     Em7
And there's a boy from back home
      D
That she still won't talk about
             G
If he could talk to her right now
He'd say

[Chorus]
 D
Damn it's good to hear your voice
      F#m               G
Feels like it's been forever
 D
Ask her how's her mom and them
    F#m         D          G
And how's that west coast weather?

 D
Yeah, I know it's late I'm sorry
F#m    D       G
No, I swear I ain't that drunk
   D
I know she won't and
 I don't blame her
                 G        D
But if she ever picked it up

[Break]
   G
I used to be the one
             D
But now I'm just an 8-6-5
  Em7
If I could just talk to her
      A
Maybe I could change her mind
And I'd say

[Chorus]
 D
Damn it's good to hear your voice
      F#m               G
Feels like it's been forever

How to play Tennessee Numbers: key, chords and progression

These are Tennessee Numbers chords by Morgan Wallen on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Tennessee Numbers by Morgan Wallen keeps coming home to D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). You need 7 chords: D, F#m, G, D/F#, Em, Em7 and A.

The backbone of the song is D – F#m – G – D (I – iii – IV – I in D major). In solfa, that is doh – mi – fah – doh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Beginner-friendly: almost every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
