Jackson/Buffet


[ch]G[/ch]		   [ch]C[/ch]                          [ch]D[/ch]	
The sun is hot, and that old clock is moving slow. 
[ch]D[/ch]*
And so am I
[ch]G[/ch]                   [ch]C[/ch]                       [ch]D[/ch]
The work day passes slower than molasses in wintertime
[ch]D[/ch]*
But it’s July
[ch]C[/ch]                                [ch]D[/ch]
I’m getting paid by the hour and older by the minute
[ch]C[/ch]                       [ch]D[/ch]
The boss just pushed me over the limit
[ch]C[/ch]                    [ch]D[/ch]
I’d like to call him something
[ch]C[/ch]                 [ch]D[/ch]          [ch]G[/ch]
I think I’ll just call it a day

Chorus
[ch]G[/ch]                                  [ch]C[/ch]                   [ch]D[/ch]
Pour me something tall and strong. Make it a hurricane before I go insane
[ch]G[/ch]                            [ch]C[/ch]           [ch]D[/ch]                
It’s only half past twelve   But I don’t care
[ch]D[/ch]                 [ch]G[/ch]          
It’s five o’clock somewhere
[ch]G[/ch]                   [ch]C[/ch]                 [ch]D[/ch]
This lunch break is going to take all afternoon
[ch]D[/ch]*
And half the night
[ch]G[/ch]                [ch]C[/ch]                  [ch]D[/ch]
Tomorrow morning I know there’ll be hell to pay 
[ch]D[/ch]*
Hey but that’s all right
[ch]C[/ch]                           [ch]D[/ch]
I haven’t had a day off now in over a year
[ch]C[/ch]                    [ch]D[/ch]		
My Jamaican vacation starts right here
[ch]C[/ch]
If the phones for me 
[ch]D[/ch]                               [ch]G[/ch]
You can tell them I just sailed away

Chorus Repeat
[ch]C[/ch]                      [ch]D[/ch]                        [ch]C[/ch]                      [ch]G[/ch]
I could pay up my tab. Pour myself in a cab and be back to work before two.
[ch]C[/ch]                      [ch]D[/ch]
At a moment like this, I can’t help but wonder
[ch]C[/ch]                        [ch]G[/ch]
What would Jimmy Buffet do.   (I think he'd say....)

Chorus Repeat (and some general beach banter
