Bartender's Blues

• D

intro: D (chord), E (plain), F# (plain)  
  
     G             G7  
Well I'm just a bartender  
      C             Am  
And I don't like my work  
      D                       G    D, E plain,   
But I don't mind the money at all  
D7/F#     G           G7  
I've seen lots of sad faces  
    C           Am 
And lots of bad cases  
   D                             G     D  
Of folks with their backs to the wall  
  

  

          G          G7/B         C          Am  
But I got four walls around me, to hold my life  
   D            D7/F#    G    D  
To keep me from going astray  
      G          G7/B        C       Am  
And a honky tonk angel, to hold me tight  
   D             C        G  
To keep me from slipping away  
  
  
(As first verse)  
  
  
Well I can light up your smokes  
I can laugh at your jokes  
I can watch you fall down on your knees  
I can close down this bar  
Oh and gas up my car  
And I can pack up and mail in my keys  
  
  
But I need four walls around me  
To hold my life  
To keep me from going astray  
And a honky tonk angel, to hold me tight  
And keep me from slipping away  
  
  
Now the smoke fills the air  
Of this honky tonk bar  
And I'm thinkin' bout where I'd rather be  
But I burned all my bridges  
And I sunk all my ships  
And I'm standing at the edge of the sea  
  
I still need four walls etc.
