Hide Lyrics Hint
[E] [Gb] [Ab] [A] Now I'm just a bartender [D] and I don't [Bm] like my work, but I [E] don't mind the money [A] at all.
.
[Gbm] [A] I see lots of sad faces [D] and lots of [Bm] bad cases of [E] folks with their backs to [A] the wall.
.
[E] But I [A] need four walls around me [G] to [Bm] hold my life, [E] to keep me from going [A] astray.
And a honky [Db]-tonk angel [D] to hold [Bm] me tight, [E] to keep me from slipping [A] away.
[E] [B] [A] I can light up your smokes, [D] I can laugh [Bm] at your jokes, [A] [E] I can watch you fall down on [A] your knees.
[Gb] I [A] can close down this bar, [D] I can gas up [Bm] my car, and [E] I can pack up and mail in [A] my key.
[E] But I [A] need four walls around me [Bm] to hold my [Gbm] life, [D] [E] to keep me from going [A] astray.
[Am] [Gbm] And [A] a honky-tonk angel [G] to [D] hold me tight, [E] to keep me from slipping [A] away.
[E] [Gbm] Now [E] [A] .
[D] .
[E] .
[A] .
[F] [A] [Gm] the smoke fills the air [D] [Eb] in this honky [Cm]-tonk bar, [F] and I'm thinking about where I'd rather [Bb] be.
But I've burned all my bridges [Fm] and [Eb] I sank [Cm] all my ships, [F] now I'm stranded at the edge [Bb] of the sea.
.
[F] I [Bb] still need four walls around me [Eb] to hold [Cm] my life, [F] to keep me from going [Bb] astray.
[F] I [Bb] need some honky-tonk angels [Eb] to hold [Cm] me tight, [F] to keep me from slipping [Eb] away.
.
[Bb] .
