                          Bartender - Dave Matthews Band
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:Willis
 
Tuning:DADGAD
(Now before you guys chew me out I know Dave doesn't play it in dadgad. But He
does play it with an entire band to back him up, so playing just the guitar
part sounds dull. This is only a way to play it to make it sound fuller, not
the actual way to play it. that other tab covers that)

Lyrics:
 
If I go
Before Im old
Oh, brother of mine
Please don't forget me if I go
 
Bartender, please
Fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave jesus that set him free
After three days in the ground
 
Oh, and if I die
Before my time
Oh, sweet sister of mine
Please don't regret me if I die
 
Bartender, please
Fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave jesus that set him free
After three days in the ground
 
Bartender, please
Fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave jesus that set him free
After three days in the ground
 
Im on bended knees, I pray
Bartender, please
 
When I was young, I didn't think about it
Now I just can't get it off my mind
 
Im on bended knees
Father, please
 
If all this gold
Should steal my soul away
Oh, dear mother of mine
Please redirect me if this gold...
 
Bartender, you see
The wine that's drinking me
Came from the vine that strung judas from the devils tree
Its roots deep, deep in the ground
 
Bartender, you see
The wine that's drinking me
Came from the vine that strung judas from the devils tree
Its roots deep, deep in the ground
In the ground...
 
Im on bended knees
Oh, bartender, please
 
Im on bended knees
Father, please
 
When I was young, I didn't dream about it
Now I think about it all the time
 
Im on bended knees
Oh, bartender, please
Bartender, please
