[D] [Em7] [D]
Now, [G] I'm just a bar-[G7]tender, and I [C] don't like my [Am7] work.
But I [D] don't mind the money at [G] all. [D] [Em7] [D] I see
[G] lots of sad [G7] faces and [C] lots of bad [Am7] cases of
[D] folks with their backs to the [G] wall. [D] [Em7] [D] But I need
[G] four walls a-[G7]round me to [C] hold my [Am7] life;
to [D] keep me from going a-[G]stray; [D] [Em7] [D] and a
[G] honky-tonk [G7] angel to [C] hold me [Am7] tight
to [D] keep me from slipping a-[G]way. [D] [Em7] [D] I can
[G] light up your [G7] smokes. I can [C] laugh at your [Am7] jokes.
I can [D] watch you fall down on your [G] knees. [D] [Em7] [D] I can
[G] close down this [G7] bar. I can [C] gas up my [Am7] car. I can
[D] pack up and mail in the [G] key. [D] [Em7] [D] But I need
[G] four walls a-[G7]round me to [C] hold my [Am7] life;
to [D] keep me from going a-[G]stray; [D] [Em7] [D] and a
[G] honky-tonk [G7] angel to [C] hold me [Am7] tight
to [D] keep me from slipping a-[G]way. [D] [Em7] [D] Now, the
[G] smoke fills the [G7] air in this [C] honky-tonk [Am7] bar,
and I'm [D] thinking 'bout where I'd rather [G] be. [D] [Em7] [D] But I
[G] burned all my [G7] bridges; and I [C] sank all [Am7] ships; and I’m
[D] stranded at the edge of the [G] sea. [D] [Em7] [D] But I need
[G] four walls a[G7]-round me to [C] hold my [Am7] life;
to [D] keep me from going a-[G]stray; [D] [Em7] [D] and a
[G] honky-tonk [G7] angel to [C] hold me [Am7] tight
to [D] keep me from slipping a-[G]way. [D] [Em7] [D] and a
[G] honky-tonk [G7] angel to [C] hold me [Am7] tight
to [D] keep me from slipping a-[C]way. [G] [Am7] [G]
