*Capo 4th fret* (This is the easiest way to play it without
                 a thousand bar chords!)
[Verse]
I sDtood behind that Abar till closing tDime
I served cDold beer, warm whAiskey and rot-gGut wine
GNow I'm up here on the sAtage everybDody knows my naGme
and I can't beliDeve how long they wAait in my autograph lDine
[Chorus]
Not bad for a bGartender
Or an eighth grade educDation
Pretty good for a bGack woods girl
Who had to make it on her oAwn
I'm on the stool side of the bGar these days
Buying everyone a rDound
B7ain't it funny how the tGables turned
ANot bad for a bGartendDer
[Verse]
Swinging dDoors and cleaning flAoors is all I'd ever kDnow
and out of Dno where somehow I fAound my yellow brick rGoad
So when you're bGroke and paying duAes, look at mDe I'm living pGroof
and if there's hDope for me AI know there's hope for Dyou
[Chorus]
Not bad for a bGartender
Or an eighth grade educDation
Pretty good for a bGack woods girl
Who had to make it on her oAwn
I'm on the stool side of the bGar these days
Buying everyone a rDound
B7ain't it funny how the tGables turned
ANot bad for a bGartendDer
[Key change](move capo up one fret here)
[Instrumental]
