Alan Jackson/Jimmy Buffet - It's 5 o'clock somewhere
Standard Tuning
Intro
, , , ,
The sun is hot and that old clock is movin slow and so am I
Workday passes like molassas in wintertime but it's July
I'm getting paid by the hour and over by the minute
my boss just pushed me over the limit
I'd like to call him something
I think I'll just call it a day
Chorus:
Pour me something tall and strong
make it a hurricane before I go insane
It's only half past 12 but I don't care
It's five o'clock somewhere
This lunch break is gonna take all afternoon and half the night
Tomorrow mornin' I know there'll be hell to pay but baby that's alright
Ain't had a day off now in over a year,
my Jamacan vacation's gonna start right here
if the phone's for me, you can tell em I just sailed away
CHORUS
Bridge:
, , ,
I can pay off my tab
(barre)*
pour myself in a cab
and be back to work before 2
At a momment like this,
(barre)*
I can't help but wonder,
what would Jimmy Buffet do?
CHORUS 2X
Repeat D, G, A D talk to yourself if you want, until the end of song etc. . .
* I think it sounds better with barre chords, but regular G works too.
