Bartender's Blues
recorded by George Jones and Trisha Yearwood. Also recorded by James Taylor
written by James Taylor

Well[G] I'm just a[G7] bartender
And[C] I don't like[A] my work
But I[D] don't mind the mo-[G]ney[D] at[E] all
[D7] I've seen[G] lots of sad[G7] faces
And[C] lots of[A] bad cases
Of[D] folks with their backs[G] to[D] the wall

(chorus)
But I[G] got four[G7] walls around[C] me, to[A] hold my life
To[D] keep me[D7] from go-[G]ing a-[D]stray
And[G] a honky[G7] tonk an-[C]gel, to[A] hold me tight
To[D] keep me[G] from slipp-[G]ing away

Well[G] I'm just a[G7] bartender
And[C] I don't like[A] my work
But I[D] don't mind the mo-[G]ney[D] at[E] all
[D7] I've seen[G] lots of sad[G7] faces
And[C] lots of[A] bad cases
Of[D] folks with their backs[G] to[D] the wall

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
