Structure of a song

[fallon222]

I am having a problem telling what exactly a structure of a song is. Could you help me? Ok, here is the lyrics for Bartender, what is the Intro verse chorus outro etc... Oh yeah Im using the TAb from this site using drop D tuning...Thanks greatly

If I go before I'm 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 go
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

I'm on bended knee I pray Bartender please
Oh when I was young I didn't think about it,
But now I can't get it out of my mind
I'm on bended knee please father please

Oh if all this gold, should steal my soul away
Oh dear mother of mine, please redirect me if this gold
Bartender you see, this wine that's drinking me
Came from the vine that strung Judas from the devil's tree roots
Deep deep in the ground

Bartender you see, this wine that's drinking me
Came from the vine that strung Judas from the devil's tree roots
Deep deep in the ground
I'm on bended knee I pray Bartender please
I'm on bended knee please mama please
Oh when I was young I didn't think about it,
But now I just want to run and hide
I'm on bended knee Bartender please

lets see if i can help without being more confusing.

1 there are no words for the intro, you just mess around with it until you want to sing.

2 you play the verse for the first two paragraphs you posted

3. The "im on bended knee i pray bartender please" part is the chorus, however, after that line i bleieve you switch to the intro riff for the "when I was young" part. And then for the second im on bended knee you switch back to the chorus.

4 the outro is when you hear dave doing all the wailing, there arent really set words for this.

pretty much you play the verse for most of the song except for the bended knee lines.

let me know if you need more help or if i just confused you more.
