import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.JavascriptExecutor;
import org.openqa.selenium.Keys;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class Chrome {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\Akash\\Drivers\\chromedriver.exe");
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.get("https://www.gmail.com");
        String selectLinkOpeninNewTab = Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL+"t"); 
        driver.findElement(By.tagName("body")).sendKeys(selectLinkOpeninNewTab);
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        driver.get("https://stackoverflow.com/");
        System.out.println("Site open");
    }

You can use javaScripts to open new tab in chrome.

try below line of code

  JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver; 
 js.executeScript("window.open('https://www.google.com','_blank');");

Instead of chord use control

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("body")).sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL +"t");

For chrome use this

first opened the tab and then hit the URL

String selectLinkOpeninNewTab = Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL+"t"); 
driver.findElement(By.tagName("body")).sendKeys(selectLinkOpeninNewTab);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("https://stackoverflow.com/");
System.out.println("Site open");
