  BARTENDER'S BLUES

  Written by James Taylor

  

  First appeared as a JT duet with George Jones on the 

  album 'My Special Guests' in the 80's. Recently

  revived by Trisha Yearwood on the 'Thinkin' Bout You'

  album, once again as a duet with George Jones.   

  

  

  (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.
