Bartenders Blues

 4    5    6   6  6   6   5
Now, I'm just, a bar-ten-der,
 4  4  -6     7    7   7  
And I don't like, my work,
 7  7  -8    -8    7   8  -8  7   7
But I don't mind, the mon-ey, at all,
4  4    5   6  6   6  5
I see lots of sad fa-ces,
 4    -6  7  7   7  -6
And lots of bad ca-ses,
 7  -8    -8    7     8   -8  7   7
Of folks with their backs to the wall.

CHORUS

7   7    8    8    8   -9   8
I need four walls, a-round me,
-8   7  -6  -7
To hold my life,
 7   -8 -8   7   8  8  8   7  
To keep me from go-in' a-stray,
 6  7  8   8   8   -9 8
And a honk-y tonk ang-el,
-8   7  -5  -6
To hold me tight,
 6   -8 -8   7    8    8  8  7
To keep me from slipp-in' a-way.

4  4     5    6    6    6
I can, light up, your smokes,
6  6     -6   7    7    7
I can, laugh at, your jokes,
7  7     -8   -8   -8    8   -8   7    7
I can, watch you, fall down, on your knees,
4  4    5   6  -6  6
I can, gas up, my car,
6  6     -6  7  7   -8   8 -8  7
I can, pack up and mail in my keys.

CHORUS

 4    4    5     6    6   6
Now, the smoke fills the air,
 6   6    -6 7   7   7
In this honk-y tonk bar,
 7   7    -8  -8    7     8     8    8  -8  7
And I'm think-in' 'bout where, I'd rath-er be.
 4  4    5    6   6   6   5
But I burned all my brid-ges,
4   -6  7   7   7
I sank all my ships,
 6   6    -7   -7  -7  6   7    7  7   6
And I'm stran-ded, at the edge of the sea.
