(3/4)

Well, (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've seen (G)lots of sad (G7)faces and (C)lots of bad old (Am7)caces
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)

(fiddle solo as above - mandoline solo as above)

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 old (G7)bar, and (C)gas up my (Am7)car
And I (D)can pack up and mail in my (G)keys (D/Em7/D)

   (Refrain)

Now the (G)smoke fills the (G7)cair of this (C)honky tonk (Am7)bar
And I'm (D)thinkin' bout where I'd rather (G)be (D/Em7/D)
But I (G)burned all my (G7)bridges and I (C)sunk all my (Am7)ships
And I'm (D)stranded at the edge of the (G)sea (D/Em7/D)

   I still 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)

   Made me one them (G)honky tonk (G7)angel to (C)hold me (Am7)tight
   To (D)keep me from slipping a(C)way (C/G/D/G)
