Bartender Blues
recorded by George Jones [3/4 time]
written by James Taylor
G G7
Well I'm just a bartender
C A7
And I don't like my work
D7 G
But I don't mind the money at all
D7 G G7
I've seen lots of sad faces
C A7
And lots of bad cases
D7 G
Of folks with their backs to the wall
D7 G G7 C A7
But I need four walls around me to hold my life
D7 G D7
To keep me from going astray
G G7 C A7
And a honky tonk angel to hold me tight
D7 G
To keep me from slipping away
G7
Well I can light up your smokes
C A7
I can laugh at your jokes
D7 G
I can watch you fall down on your knees
D7 G G7
I can close down this bar
C A7
Oh and gas up my car
D7 G
And I can pack up and mail in my keys
Repeat #2
G7
Now the smoke fills the air
C A7
Of this honky tonk bar
D7 G
And I'm thinking bout where I'd rather be
D7 G G7
But I burned all my bridges
C A7
And I sunk all my ships
D7 G
And I'm standing at the edge of the sea
Repeat #2
