Regina Spektor - Bartender

ok .

now i knooooooow what youre gonna say . “this doesnt sound like the chords regina plays
and youre right . it doesnt . but it works with the melody just as well .
i just really wanted to put this song up , cos i love it so .

and its my first tab , so be nice!
and im self taught , so i guess its kinda for novices . . . feel free to embellish all you
proper guitarry people out there : )

capo can be put anywhere , but i personally think either on 3 , or just not all sounds nicest . . .

for this song , i play G as : 320030

intro :

G G caad9 Cadd9 G G Cadd9 Cadd9

G Cadd9
come on bartender
G Cadd9
wont you be more tender
G Cadd9
give me two shots of whiskey
G Cadd9
and a beer chaser
D Em
love will be the death of me
Cadd9 ( let it ring . . . )
love is so fickle
Cadd9 ( finger pick )
its starts with a flood and ends

with a tr – tr – tr – tr – tr – tr – tr – trickle

intro :

C Cadd9
come on bartender
G Cadd9
just a little more tender
G Cadd9
i ate all your peanuts
G Cadd9
return me to sender
D Em
i’ve been too candid
Cadd9
now i’m barely standing
Cadd9
just call me a taxi

and prepare me for landing

G D Em
ooh , you have got to kick me back out
D Cadd9
into the cold and nasty weather
G D
and maybe if i sober up
Em D Cadd9
i will stop pretending that love is forever
D Cadd9
love is forever
G Cadd9
come on bartender ( x3 )
( x2 )

D Em Cadd9
love will be the death of me
D Em Cadd9
love will be the death of me
D Em Cadd9
love will be the death of me
Cadd9
love is so fickle

cause it starts with a flood
G
and it ends with a tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr trickle
G ( one quick strum only! )
trickle
G
trickle
G
trickle
G
trickle
G
trickle

G Cadd9 G
come on bartender
G Cadd9 G
come on bartender
G Cadd9 G
come on bartender

G Cadd9 G

there we go chums = ] i find it nice , when playing the first part of the verse , play
like this : 320030 , and then when you get to “love is so fickle . . . ” play it : : 320033 .
just how i do it . : )
and also , i like to instead of all out strumming , pluck the bass E and then strum the
3 . so like pluck , strum , pluck strum etc . . .
