Key: D
Introduction:
D A D
I stood behind that bar till closing time
D A G
I served cold beer, warm whiskey and rot-gut wine
G A D G
Now I'm up here on the stage everybody knows my name
D A D
and I can't believe how long they wait in my autograph line
G
Not bad for a bartender
D
Or an eighth grade education
G
Pretty good for a back woods girl
A
Who had to make it on her own
G
I'm on the stool side of the bar these days
D
Buying everyone a round
B7 G
ain't it funny how the tables turned
A G D
Not bad for a bartender
D A D
Swinging doors and cleaning floors is all I'd ever know
D A G
and out of no where somehow I found my yellow brick road
G A D G
So when you're broke and paying dues, look at me I'm living proof
D A D
and if there's hope for me I know there's hope for you
Repeat Chorus
G
I'm on the stool side of the bar these days
D
Buying everyone a round
B7 G
ain't it funny how the tables turned
A G D
Not bad for a bartender
B7 G
ain't it funny how the tables turned
A G D
Not bad for a bartender
