                             Bartender's Blues       Capo 1st fret
		               James Taylor

                    intro:     
	                       
	      Now I'm just a bartender
                                 
	      And I don't like my work
                                                 /G#
	      But I don't mind the money at all

                                
	      I see lots of sad faces
                             
	      And lots of bad cases
                                                     /G#
	      Of folks with their backs to the wall
                                                              
	      Chorus:  But I need four walls around me to hold my life
                                                    /G#
		       To keep me from going a-stray
                                                           
		       And a honky-tonk angel to hold me tight
                                                      /G#
		       To keep me from slipping away

                                 
	      I can light up your smokes
                                 
	      I can laugh at your jokes
                                                      /G#
	      I can watch you fall down on your knees
                                   
	      I can close down this bar
                            
	      I can gas up my car
                                                /G#
	      I can pack up and mail in my key


	      Chorus:

                                      
	      Now, the smoke fills the air
                                 
	      In this honky-tonk bar
                                                          /G#
	      And I'm thinking 'bout where I'd rather be
                                  
	      But I burned all my bridges
                            
	      I sank all my ships
                                                      /G#
	      And I'm stranded at the edge of the sea

	      Chorus:
