Bartenders Blues

E  F#m7 E/G#

A                 A7
Now I'm just a bartender
            D             Bm7
And I don't like my work
             E                     
But I don't mind the money at all
 A   E  F#m7 E/G#


             A           A7
I see lots of sad faces
           D          Bm7
And lots of bad cases
         E                      
Of folks with their backs to the 
        A   E  F#m7 E/G#
wall

[Chorus]
                 A           A7   
But I need four walls around me to
       D       Bm7
 hold my life

               E                   
To keep me from going a-stray
 A   E  F#m7 E/G#

                  A            A7 
And a honky-tonk angel to hold me 
     D            Bm7
tight
               E                   
To keep me from slipping away
  A    E  F#m7 E/G#


             A            A7
I can light up your smokes
             D            Bm7
I can laugh at your jokes
             E                   
I can watch you fall down on your 
       A    E  F#m7 E/G#
knees
             A              A7
I can close down this bar
             D       Bm7
I can gas up my car
             E                     
I can pack up and mail in my key
A   E  F#m7 E/G#


[Chorus]

               A               A7
Now, the smoke fills the air
              D           Bm7
In this honky-tonk bar
               E                
And I'm thinking 'bout where I'd 
              A  E  F#m7 E/G#
rather be
             A             A7
But I burned all my bridges
         D           Bm7
I sank all my ships
               E                   
And I'm stranded at the edge of the
       A  E  F#m7 E/G#
 sea
