Verse 
 
    D       
Mr. Bourbon and Coke laughs 
                             Em 
At all of my jokes when he's drinking 
    A  
Mr. Martini stares and he 
                       D         A 
Never shares what he's thinking. 
     D  
Miss Sexy Red Wine tells me at closing time 
            Em 
That she'll phone me 
    A   
Mr. Whiskey Shot Glass watches hookers 
         D                  A 
Walk past when he's lonely. 
 
 
Chorus 
 
         D 
I'm a bartender 
  F#7 
I pour the drinkers 
Bm 
Laugh with the sinners 
    Esus         E 
And cry with the saints 
G        A       A#dim7   Bm  A  Esus E       
And even if they don't remember 
Em       A              D        A 
I try to make their bar tender. 
 
 
Verse 
 
Mr. Never Does Tip says 
That none of his kids ever call home 
Mrs. Chews On Her Lip tells someone 
She's at work on her cell phone. 
Mrs. Husband Just Died always 
Breaks down and cries on the weekends  
Just another long night in a 
Bartender's life with some good friends. 
 
 
Chorus 
 
I'm a bartender 
I pour the drinkers  
Laugh with the sinners 
And cry with the saints 
And even if they don't remember 
                        D          
I try to make their bar tender.
