George Jones – Bartenders Blues (Ukulele)

G                  G7
Well I'm just a bartender

      C             A7
And I don't like my work

      D7                      G
But I don't mind the money at all

D7        G           G7
I've seen lots of sad faces

    C           A7
And lots of bad cases

   D7                            G
Of folks with their backs to the wall

D7         G          G7        C          A7
But I need four walls around me to hold my life

   D7                 G      D7
To keep me from going astray

      G          G7       C       A7
And a honky tonk angel to hold me tight

   D7                    G
To keep me from slipping away

                         G7
Well I can light up your smokes

      C             A7
I can laugh at your jokes

      D7                          G
I can watch you fall down on your knees

D7    G               G7
I can close down this bar

   C             A7
Oh and gas up my car

    D7                           G
And I can pack up and mail in my keys

                        G7
Now the smoke fills the air

   C               A7
Of this honky tonk bar

        D7                             G
And I'm thinking bout where I'd rather be

D7    G             G7
But I burned all my bridges

    C             A7
And I sunk all my ships

    D7                              G
And I'm standing at the edge of the sea
