Version 1Bartender's Blues James Taylor Capo 1st fret [Intro] E F#m7 E/G# A A7 Now I'm just a bartender D Bm7 And I don't like my work E A E F#m7 E/G# But I don't mind the money at all A A7 I see lots of sad faces D Bm7 And lots of bad cases E A E F#m7 E/G# Of folks with their backs to the wall [Chorus] A A7 D Bm7 But I need four walls around me to hold my life E A E F#m7 E/G# To keep me from going a-stray A A7 D Bm7 And a honky-tonk angel to hold me tight E A E F#m7 E/G# To keep me from slipping away A A7 I can light up your smokes D Bm7 I can laugh at your jokes E A E F#m7 E/G# I can watch you fall down on your knees A A7 I can close down this bar D Bm7 I can gas up my car E A E F#m7 E/G# I can pack up and mail in my key [Chorus] A A7 Now, the smoke fills the air D Bm7 In this honky-tonk bar E A E F#m7 E/G# And I'm thinking 'bout where I'd rather be A A7 But I burned all my bridges D Bm7 I sank all my ships E A E F#m7 E/G# And I'm stranded at the edge of the sea [Chorus]
