Song: "When The Bartender Cries"

Artist: Michael Peterson

Album: Michael Peterson

Songwriters: Michael Peterson, Hunter Davis

Publisher: Reprise

Catalogue Number: 9 46618-2

Submitted by: Michael A Pipkin (garth@ufl.edu)


Most of this song is picked, but the pattern is similar throughout, and all of the picking can be done while holding down chords. ÊFor the tab written, hold the chord indicated, then play the strings indicated (low e is 6, high e is 1). ÊListen to the recording for the timing. ÊThe first and second choruses are strummed, as well as the last half of the third. ÊThe bridge is also strummed. ÊThe entire song sounds fine with just strumming if the picking is too difficult. ÊI had to write out the chords for each verse and chorus because he sings each one a little differently, and some of the timing is tricky.

Intro: C G F C G F


Verse1: ÊÊÊÊÊC ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊF

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊThis bar has been my home away from her

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC ÊÊG

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊUsed to be, she was missing me

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG ÊÊÊÊF

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊNow she's moving in with her best friend

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC ÊÊG

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊAnd I'm the only one who wants what used to be

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊF

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊI'm here because today I lost it all

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC ÊÊG

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊI didn't want to drink at home alone

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG ÊÊÊF ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊI just can't believe all my hopes and dreams are falling

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC ÊÊÊG

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊLike a row of dominoes


Chorus1: ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊI thought the man behind the bar

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊF ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊHad heard it all before

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊAm ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊMy story must have caught him by surprise

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊAm ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ'Cause when he handed me my double

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊF ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊThere were tears in his eyes

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊF ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊYou know you're in trouble

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC G F

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊWhen the bartender cries


Verse2: ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊF

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊHe said, "Last night you swore you'd never drink again"

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC ÊÊG 

	 ÊI said, "Next time, I'm really gonna try

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG F

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊSo if she ever calls for me

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊF ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊOh, you can finally tell her, "He ain't here"

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC ÊÊG

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊAnd it won't be a lie


Chorus2: ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊI asked the man behind the bar

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊF ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊWhat he'd been crying for

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊAm ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊHe said, "That bottle used to be a friend of mine

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊAm ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG ÊÊ

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊNow I've stopped drinking doubles

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊF ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊBut I pour them all of the time

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊF ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊSon, you know you're in trouble

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊWhen the bartender cries"


Bridge: F ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊAm ÊÊF

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊAs I saw my own reflection staring back at me, I knew

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊF ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ(pause)

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊEvery single word he said was true


Chorus3:(no chord) ÊÊÊÊÊÊC ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊWell, I told the man behind the bar

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊF ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG ÊÊÊC

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊI thought I'd seen it all before

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊAm ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊTill I saw the sadness in his eyes

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊAm ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊThat's when I put down my double

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊF ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊAnd said my last goodbyes

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊF ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ'Cause you know you're in trouble

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊG ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊAm

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊWhen the bartender cries

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊF ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC G

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊOh, you know you're in trouble

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊC G F (slow strum down)C

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊWhen the bartender cries
