Bartender Blues

          A                    
Now I'm just a bartender… and I 
   D            Bm7
don't like my work
        E                      A
But I don't mind the money at all
       A                      D   
I see lots of sad faces… and lots 
        Bm7       E            
of bad cases of folks with their 
                A
backs to the wall

Chorus:
            A                      
But I need four walls around me to 
 D      Bm7       E              
hold my life… to keep me from 
      A
going a-stray
        A                   D   
And a honky-tonk angel to hold me 
   Bm7       E                     A
tight… to keep me from slipping away

        A                        
I can light up your smokes… I can 
   D            Bm7
laugh at your jokes

        E                        
I can watch you fall down on your 
   A
knees
        A                         
I can close down this bar… I can 
D        Bm7             E      
gas up my car. And I can pack up
                A
 and mail in my key

Chorus:
            A                      
But I need four walls around me to 
 D      Bm7       E              
hold my life… to keep me from 
      A
going a-stray
        A                   D   
And a honky-tonk angel to hold me 
   Bm7        E                   
tight… to keep me from slipping 
  A
away

Break:
A  D  Bm7  E  A

           A                       
Now, the smoke fills the air in 
    D         Bm7
this honkey-tonk bar
           E                    
And I'm thinking 'bout where I'd 
        A
rather be
        A                     D   
But I burned all my bridges… sank 
        Bm7              E        
all my ships, now I'm stranded at 
                 A
the edge of the sea

Chorus:
              A                    
I still need four walls around me 
   D       Bm7      E            
to hold my life… to keep me from 
        A
going a-stray
              A                 
I need some honky-tonk angels to 
  D       Bm7            E       
hold me tight… that’ll keep me 
              D  A
from slipping away…
