[Intro]
...four, five, six
G Am G Am G B7 Em C
[Verse 1]
G            Am
Old Man on a Bar Stool
 G        Am
Watching tv
       G           B7            Em       C
He got up and came over to sit closer to me
        G           Am
He said you look familiar
    G          Am
To someone I knew
      G           B7              Em          C
But when we were your age we were older than you
 G          Am
Jimmy was twenty
    G       Am
and I seventeen
   G             B7          Em           C
To us there was nothing but girls and machines
 G         Am
Jimmy got married
    G          Am
And I went to war
G               B7               Em       C
I still don't know what we were doing it for
[Bridge]
              Em         C
And if you'll buy me a drink
  Em        C
A turkey on ice
     G             F          C       D
Then I could give you some advice
[Chorus]
           G  Am      C    D
You just stay in the bar
        G   Am      C     D
For as long as you can
         Em            B7
Cos' as long as your drinking
      G              F             C    Am D
Then you've got the world in your hand
[Instrumental]
G Am G Am G B7 Em C
[Verse 2]
         G           Am
There's no shame in hanging
      G            Am
Your world by a string
      G              B7           Em         C
You know there's no harm in not thinking a thing
      G                Am           G            Am
But trying to find a place for yourself in this world
          G               B7          Em      C
Is like trying to make a wife of an American girl
[Bridge]
            Em         C
If you'll trade me a drink
        Em       C
For a story or two
      G                F           C   D
Then you'll know what you need to do
[Chorus]
           G  Am      C     D
You just stay in the Bar
        G   Am      C       D
For as long as you can
          Em          B7
You know love is for sissies
      G          F          C    Am D
It's wisky that makes you a man
[Interlude]
G Am G Am G B7 Em C
[Verse 3]
        G           Am
Now the old man got up
      G                    Am
And stumbled out in the street
            G           B7               Em           C
He'd been drinking all day and left his bar tab with me
   G               Am
I didn't have the money
    G         Am
To cover his bill
       G          B7                  Em           C
But I found me a man who looked like me, younger still and said
[Bridge]
 Em        C
Buy me a drink
          Em         C
And I'll tell you a tale
          G            F            C    D
About the old man who taught me so well
[Chorus]
Who said
  G  Am      C    D
Stay in the Bar
        G   Am      C    D
For as long as you can
         Em          B7          G            F             C
Well I know your a friend I can tell by the shakes in your hand
You just
  G  Am      C       D
Stay in the Bar
        G   Am      C    D
For as long as you dare
    Em          B7
As long as you tipping
      G            F                C
Then you've got a good friend somewhere
