Chords for Bartender's Sweetheart (Dave & Aubrey)

_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Our marriage was happy, I [G] was never [C] alone
Except for the nights when my wife wasn't [G] home
_ _ [C] She was religious, so humble and meek
She attended her church [G] about twice [C] a week
_ _ One night when she left, [G] I thought it would [C] be fine
To take a ride around for to sort of pass [G] the time
But _ [C] time passed so quickly, and very soon I found
I was driving down a back street [G] on the [C] outskirts of town
_ As I passed a corner, [G] a tavern [C] came in view
So neatly painted with light [G] shades of blue
_ _ [C] My wife was in church, and I knew I had time
To have at least [G] one [C] glass of wine
_ _ [D] _
_ _ _ Sign on the bar said [A] we'd close sharp [D] at ten
So I ordered my drink just as soon as I [A] got in
_ [D] I paid for my glass and I turned for a seat
When a girl I then saw [A] with a face [D] oh so sweet
My heart it stopped beating [A] as I [D] saw her there
My legs started trembling as I walked to [A] her chair
I [D] laid down my glass and a chair to pull out
When the bartender's hand [A] drew blood from [D] my mouth
_ _ [E] _ _ _ He said you're a stranger [B] and I want you [E] to know
You're welcome to whiskey as long as you [B] got dough _
_ [E] But with my darling no man can dine
Her smile is for everyone [B] but her love is [E] all mine
_ I'm sorry bartender [B] I don't think you [E] should mind
Cause with your darling I'm entitled [B] to dine
But [E] you can go on loving her the rest of your life
Cause after tonight she's [B] no longer [E] my wife
