Kenny Chesney Greatest Hits
On The Acoustic

American Kids was one of four singles released from the 2014 album The Big Revival. This number was the first single from the album and did very well, peaking at #2 in the US but did reach #1 in on the Country Digital sales chart.

The song did hit #1 in Canada. There was also a music video produced for this song.

This song is a bit fast paced for the right hand rhythm but not difficult. You'll have a quick riff to play in various places after each chorus. The chords needed are Em, G6, C, D,and Bm. For the rhythm if you play a down down up down up down up and then repeat as you move through the song that will keep your timing spot on while played in standard tuning.

Back Where I Come From is a song written by Mac McAnally and recorded by Kenny Chesney for his 1996 album Me and You.

The song was released as a single but failed to chart. But Chesney performs the song often in concert as it has become one of his favourite songs he's recorded down through the years.

This song is played in standard tuning and has no lead work. The rhythm pattern is a down down up down up down up and repeat using the chords G, D, Em, C and Bm.

Baptism was recorded as a duet with Randy Travis for Kenny's 1999 album "Everywhere We Go".

Chesney never released the song as a single but Randy Travis did with just a solo version and his version hit #75 on the charts. Not sure why Chesney never released this one but he had four single from that album already.

Use a capo on the 2nd fret with a down down up down down up or down down up down up down up and repeat rhythm pattern. Just a few riffs in this one with the chords D, Bm, G. A7, D/Gb, Em, C, A/Db and a Bm/A.

Coastal is a track from the 2010 album entitled Hemmingway's Whiskey.

Five singles were released from that album but this song was not one of them.

This one played with a capo on the first in this example using the chords G, Em, C, D, G6 and an Am. You can play a shuffle rhythm pattern using a down down up down up and repeat with a few down stroke chops at the end of the verses. A few riffs in here but nothing difficult.

Down The Road was a single featuring Mac McAnally who wrote and recorded the song, from Kenny's 2008 album Lucky Old Sun.

Eighteen years later and a duet was recorded between these two artists. The song made it to #1 in 2009 and the highest charting song for McAnally.

With Drop D tuning here, which is always optional, play a root down root up down up rhythm pattern for this song. There is some lead in here while playing the chords D, G, A7, Bm and a Gbm with a capo on the 2nd, but the capo is again always optional.

Get Along was the first single from Kenny Chesney after leaving Sony and moving to Warner Bros label. It was released in 2018 from the album "Songs For The Saints".

Living In Fast Forward was co-written by David Lee Murphy and was recorded by Kenny Chesney for his 2006 Road And The Radio album. The song was a #1 hit for Kenny. The video for this one is more of a behind the scenes look at life in the big times. 

I've always liked this one that uses mainly down-strokes for the rhythm and the chords A, D, E and a B chord. Play this in standard tuning with a little bit of lead work.

No Small Miracle is a track from Kenny Chesney's third album from 1996 entitled Me And You.

This song was never released as a single.

Reality was one of five singles and four number one hits from the 2011 album called Hemmingway's Whiskey. This song was the last single from that album and was co-written by Kenny Chesney.

Kenny got the idea for the song while being zoned out in a dentists chair. They he realized people come to see his shows to sometimes escape reality as well. The was also a music video produced for this song.

The Life is a track on Kenny Chesney's 2008 album called Lucky Old Sun. There were two single from this album but this sone was not one of them.

The original key for this one is with a capo on the 3rd fret. Only a handful of chords in here using the D, G, A, Em, Gbm and a D/Gb. For the rhythm here you'll want to play a down up stop up down up stop up and repeat all the way through.

When I See This Bar is a single from Kenny's 2013 album Life On A Rock. Kenny co-wrote this song with Keith Gattis.

The song reached #14 in Canada and #25 in the US.

The original key is in A but I'm playing this one in G as the vocals are a bit too high. Use a capo 2nd fret to get back to the original key and play a down up pause up and repeat rhythm pattern. A few picking riffs required in this one.

The chords here are G, C and D.

While He Still Knows Who I Am is a track on Kenny Chesney's 2012 album Welcome To The Fishbowl and deals with the subject of Alzeheimers and memory loss.

For rhythm here play a down down up down up down up and repeat rhythm pattern. I play a capo 1st in standard tuning with a few riffs for lead. The chords you'll need are D ,G, Asus, A and a Bm.

Young was a #2 single from Kenny Chesney's 2002 album No Shoes No Shirt No Problems. The music video was filmed in Sanford Florida on the bridge over the St Johns River.

The song is in A but I play it in G, C/G, D, Am and a Bm. A capo 2nd fret will put you in the original key. A down up pause up and repeat will work for the rhythm pattern in this song while improvising a bit of lead that stays on the G chord.
