^CNow I'm just a bar^C7tender And I ^Fdon't like my ^F7work But I d^Gon't mind the m^G7oney at a^Cll ^G ^Gadd11 ^Cadd9

[Verse 2]

I see l^Cots of sad f^C7aces And l^Fots of bad c^F7ases Of ^Gfolks with their b^G7acks to the ^Cwall^G ^Gadd11 ^Cadd9

[Chorus]

But^C I need four w^C7alls to ^Fhold my ^Dm7life To ^Gkeep me from ^G7going a-^Cstra^G7y ^Am7 ^G/B And a ^Chonky-tonk an^C7gel to h^Fold me ^Dm7tight To ^Gkeep me from ^G7slipping a^Cway ^G7 ^Am7 ^G/B

[Interlude] e|----------------------------------------------| B|--0---1--2------------------------------------| G|--0---2--4------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------| [Verse 3]

I can l^Cight up your ^C7smokes I can l^Faugh at your j^F7okes I can w^Gatch you fall d^G7own on your k^Cnees ^G ^Gadd11 ^Cadd9 I can c^Close down this ^C7bar I can g^Fas up my^Dm7 car I can p^Gack up and ^G7mail in my k^Cey ^G ^Gadd11 ^Cadd9

[Chorus]

Now, the ^Csmoke fills the ^C7air In this ^Fhonky-tonk b^Dm7ar And I'm t^G7hinking 'bout where I'd rather ^Cbe ^G7 ^Am7 ^G/B But I b^Curned all my b^C7ridges I s^Fank all my s^Dm7hips And I'm s^G7tranded at the edge of the ^Csea^G7 ^Am7 ^G/B
