D                A                 D
I stood behind that bar till closing time
          D                A              G
I served cold beer, warm whiskey and rot-gut wine
G                       A          D              G
Now I'm up here on the stage everybody knows my name
                D                  A                    D
and I can't believe how long they wait in my autograph line

[Chorus]
               G
Not bad for a bartender
                       D
Or an eighth grade education
                   G
Pretty good for a back woods girl
                           A
Who had to make it on her own
                              G
I'm on the stool side of the bar these days
                   D
Buying everyone a round
B7                      G
ain't it funny how the tables turned
A              G     D
Not bad for a bartender

[Verse]
          D                   A                     D
Swinging doors and cleaning floors is all I'd ever know
           D                   A                     G
and out of no where somehow I found my yellow brick road
                G                 A            D             G
So when you're broke and paying dues, look at me I'm living proof
                D          A                      D
and if there's hope for me I know there's hope for you

[Chorus]
               G
Not bad for a bartender
                       D
Or an eighth grade education
                   G
Pretty good for a back woods girl
                           A
Who had to make it on her own
                              G
I'm on the stool side of the bar these days
                   D
Buying everyone a round
B7                      G
ain't it funny how the tables turned
A              G     D
Not bad for a bartender
