9 To 5
Dolly Parton (Dolly Parton, 1980)
Verse: Choppy, Muted | d d d d d d d d |
Chorus: Open, Strummy | d u D u d u D u |
[G] Tumble out of bed and I stumble in the kitchen,
[C] Pour myself a cup of ambition
[G] And yawn and stretch and try to come to [D]life.
[G] Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping,
[C] Out on the street the traffic starts jumping
With [G] folks like me on the [D] job from 9 to [G] 5.
Chorus
Working [C] 9 to 5, what a way to make a living,
Barely [G] getting by, it's all taking and no giving,
They just [C] use your mind and they never give you credit,
It's [A] enough to make you [D] crazy if you let it.
[C] 9 to 5, for service and devotion,
You would [G] think that I would deserve a fair promotion,
Want to [C] move ahead but the boss won't seem to let me,
I [A] swear sometimes, that [D] man is out to get me.
They [G] let you dream just to watch them shatter,
You're [C] just a step on the boss man's ladder,
But [G] you've got dreams he'll never take [D] away.
You're [G] in the same boat with a lot of your friends,
[C] Waiting for the day your ship'll come in
The [G] tides gonna turn and it's [D] all gonna roll your way. [G]
Chorus
Working [C] 9 to 5, what a way to make a living,
Barely [G] getting by, it's all taking and no giving,
They just [C] use your mind and they never give you credit,
It's [A] enough to make you [D] crazy if you let it.
Working [C] 9 to 5, yeah they've got you where they want you,
There's a [G] better life, and you dream about it don't you,
It's a [C] rich man's game, no matter what they call it,
And you [A] spend your life putting [D] money in his pocket. [G]
Chorus
