Barstool v1 Gary Jules
[G]Old man on a barstool [C]watching TV [G] [C]
He go[G]t up and came over t[Am]o sit closer to me [C] [G]
He said you l[G]ook familiar to so[C]meone I knew [G] [C]
But whe[G]n we were your age we we[Am]re older than you [C] [G]
[G]Jimmy was twenty a[C]nd I seventeen [G] [C]
To us[G] there was nothing but gi[Am]rls and machines [C] [G]
[G]Jimmy got married [C]and I went to war [G] [C]
I [G]still don’t know what we [Am]were doing it for [C] [G]
But if you’ll buy me[G] a drink, a tu[C]rkey on ice [G] [C]
Then I cou[G]ld give you some ad[Am]vice [C]
CHORUS
You just stay in[G] the[Am] bar [C]
For as long[G] as you[Am] can [C]
Cuz as long as[Em] you’re drinking [G]
[Am]You’ve got the world in your hand [C]
VERSE 2
There’s no sha[G]me in hanging your world [C]by a string [G] [C]
You know[G] there’s no harm in not thi[Am]nking a thing [C] [G]
But try[G]ing to find a place for yo[C]urself in this world[G] [C]
Is like try[G]ing to make a wife of an A[Am]merican girl [C] [G]
If you tra[G]de me a drink for [C]a story or two [G] [C]
Then you’ll know what[G] you need to do [Am] [C]
CHORUS
You just stay in[G] the[Am] bar [C]

It’s whi[Am]skey that makes you a man [C]
