Bartender Chords & Lyrics by Regina Spektor
Bartender
guitar chords lyrics
OK.
Now I knooooooow what youre gonna say. "this doesnt sound like the chords regina plays
And youre right. it doesnt. But it works with the melody just as well.
I just really wanted to put this song up, cos i love it so.
And its my first tab, so be nice!
And im self taught, so i guess its kinda for novices...feel free to embellish all you
proper guitarry people out there :)
Capo can be put anywhere, but I personally think either on 3, or just not all sounds nicest...
For this song, i play G as: 320030
Intro:
G G Caad9 Cadd9 G G Cadd9 Cadd9
G Cadd9
Come on Bartender
G Cadd9
Wont you be more tender
G Cadd9
Give me two shots of whiskey
G Cadd9
And a beer chaser
D Em
Love will be the death of me
Cadd9 (let it ring...)
Love is so fickle
Cadd9 (finger pick)
Its starts with a flood and ends
With a tr-tr-tr-tr-tr-tr-tr-trickle
Intro:
C Cadd9
Come on bartender
G Cadd9
Just a little more tender
G Cadd9
I ate all your peanuts
G Cadd9
Return me to sender
D Em
I've been too candid
Cadd9
Now I'm barely standing
Cadd9
Just call me a taxi
And prepare me for landing
G D Em
Ooh, you have got to kick me back out
D Cadd9
Into the cold and nasty weather
G D
And maybe if i sober up
Em D Cadd9
I will stop pretending that love is forever
D Cadd9
Love is forever
G Cadd9
Come on bartender(x3)
(x2)
D Em Cadd9
Love will be the death of me
D Em Cadd9
Love will be the death of me
D Em Cadd9
Love will be the death of me
Cadd9
Love is so fickle
Cause it starts with a flood
G
And it ends with a tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr trickle
G (one quick strum only!)
Trickle
G
Trickle
G
Trickle
G
Trickle
G
Trickle
G Cadd9 G
Come on bartender
G Cadd9 G
Come on bartender
G Cadd9 G
Come on bartender
G Cadd9 G
There we go chums =] i find it nice, when playing the first part of the verse, play
like this: 320030, and then when you get to "love is so fickle..." play it:: 320033.
just how I do it. :)
And also, i like to instead of all out strumming, pluck the bass E and then strum the
3. So like pluck, strum, pluck strum etc...
