George Jones

George Jones - Bartender's Blues guitar chord

intro: D (chord), E (plain), F# (plain)

G G7

Well I'm just a bartender

C A

And I don't like my work

D G D, E plain,

But I don't mind the money at all

D7/F# G G7

I've seen lots of sad faces

C A

And lots of bad cases

D G D

Of folks with their backs to the wall

(chorus)

G G7 C A

But I got four walls around me, to hold my life

D D7/F# G D

To keep me from going astray

G G7 C A

And a honky tonk angel, to hold me tight

D C G

To keep me from slipping away

(As first verse)

Well I can light up your smokes

I can laugh at your jokes

I can watch you fall down on your knees

I can close down this bar

Oh and gas up my car

And I can pack up and mail in my keys

But I need four walls around me

To hold my life

To keep me from going astray

And a honky tonk angel, to hold me tight

And keep me from slipping away

Now the smoke fills the air

Of this honky tonk bar

And I'm thinkin' bout where I'd rather be

But I burned all my bridges

And I sunk all my ships

And I'm standing at the edge of the sea

I still need four walls etc.
