Chords used in this song:
Intro
The (D) sun is hot and (A7) that old clock is (D) moving slow
And, (A7) so am I
The (D) work day passes (A7) like molasses, in (Bm) wintertime
But, (A7) it's Ju(D)ly
Gettin (G) paid by the hour
And (D) older by the minute
(A7) Boss just pushed me (D) over the limit
Like to (G) call him something
(D) Think I'll just call it a (A7) day
(D) Pour me something (G) tall and strong
Make it a (A7) Hurricane before (D) I go insane
It's only half past (G) 12, but I don't (A7) care
(No chord) It's 5 o'clock, (D) somewhere
(D) (G) (A7) (D)
Well, (D) this lunch break is (A7) gonna take all (D) afternoon
And (A7) half the night
To(D)morrow morning, (A7) I know there'll be (Bm) hell to pay
Hey but, (A7) that's al(D)right
Ain't (G) had a day off now
In (D) over a year
My (A7) Jamaican vacation's
Gonna (D) start right here
If the (G) phone's for me
You can (D) tell them I've just sailed a(A7)way
(D) Pour me something (G) tall and strong
Make it a (A7) Hurricane before (D) I go insane
It's only half past (G) 12, but I don't (A7) care
It's 5 o'clock, (D) somewhere
Solo
I could (Bm) pay off my tab
Pour my(Bm/A)self in cab and be (G) back to (A) work before (D) 2
At a (Bm) moment like this
I (Bm/A) can't help but wonder
(Em) What would Jimmy Buffett (A7) do
I'd say - (D) Pour me something (G) tall and strong
Make it a (A7) Hurricane before (D) I go insane
It's only half past (G) 12, but I don't (A7) care
(D) Pour me something (G) tall and strong
Make it a (A7) Hurricane before (D) I go insane
It's only half past (G) 12, but I don't (A7) care
(G) I don't care
(No chord) It's 5 o'clock, (D) somewhere
Ad lib and fade out
