[Intro]
D F#m A  x2

[Verse 1]
Well, I've been throwing
          D F#m A
down the whiskey
                          D F#m A
I ought to get my money back
                            D F#m A
Someone said it drowns a memory
                         D F#m A
Ah, but it ain't doing jack
                  D
Yeah, I've been sippin',
            F#m
I've been buzzing
           A
Shooting doubles like it's nothing
           D            F#m     A
Aw, but nothing makes it go away

[Chorus]
                   D   F#m A
I need something "you proof,"
                             D F#m A
something stronger than I'm used to
                   D     F#m       A
I've been pouring 90 to 100 feelin'
like nothing's gonna cut it,
            D   F#m   A
that's the hard truth
                         D   F#m A
Yeah, I need something "you proof,"
                       D   F#m A
aw, I need something "you proof"

Turn a party upside down, just
looking for something that does it

I'll give them all my money

I need something "you proof"

Yeah, I've been mixing liquors

But I guess I must
         F#m         A
be doing something wrong

How to play You Proof: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for You Proof by Morgan Wallen on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

You Proof by Morgan Wallen is built around D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯), with 3 chords in all: D, F#m and A.

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

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes C, Em, G (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 67% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
