Ernest Tubb – Bartender (Guitar)

C
Please listen to me bartender

         F               C
I've got somethin' on my mind

  F                  C
I think I might feel better

                        G
After one more glass of wine

    C
I'm payin' for a broken heart

    F                C
The price of love is high

     F               C
With nothin' left to live for

       G               C
What's there to do but die

F
  I know your story honey

C
  They're all the same you see

G7                           C
  Why I knew the minute that you

C
Walked in you'd want to talk to me

G7       C
But I've learned what you don't read in books

                           F
From words that cross this bar

               C
I've seen them come and I've seen them drink

F                                  C
Till they don't even know who they are

C
Now I don't believe that honky tonk

G
is a place for a girl like you

C
  I might be wrong but you don't look right

                 F
Sittin' there on that barstool

     C                        F
It's not too late so stop and think

                C
before all your pride is gone

                              G7
You could end up like all the rest

C
with a barroom for your home

  F                    C          G               C    C
I know you're right bartender goodnight I'm goin' home
