[Verse 1]
C G C
I've been a bartender for nigh twenty years,
G
I love the life I'm livin' servin' whiskey and beer;
C F C
I've seen a lot of losers sittin' in this place,
G C
With looks of desperation written on their face.
[Verse 2]
C G C
That guy in the corner sittin' all alone,
G
He came in here the other night about closin' time;
C
And who should he see sittin'.at that table over there,
G C
Was the pretty ,wife who'd told him she was gone to evenin' prayer.
[Verse 3]
D A D
When he found out I was the one flirtin' with his wife,
A
His anger flared, he cursed on her, we began to fight;
D
But then I saw the strangest thing as he got from the floor,
A D
There was a grin upon his bloody mouth, he made for the door.
[Verse 4]
D A D
All that was a year ago, but now I understand,
A
That crooked smile on that face bloodied by my hand;
D
I haven't had a moment's peace ever since that night,
A D
I could almost hear him say, "You sucker, learned your lesson right."
[Verse 5]
E B7 E
Now every Sunday mornin' we're at the church by nine,
B7
And she won't let me have a drink that's stronger than wine;
E
Why was I taken by those pretty flashin' eyes?
B7 E
If you take away her prayer books she's a devil in disguise.
[Verse 6]
E B7 E
I today in desperation called her husband on the phone,
B7
I pleaded with him, "Buddy, will you take this woman home?"
E
His hollow mockin' laughter just cut me like a knife,
B7 E
He said, "Like I told you, bartender, She's no longer my wife!"
