It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere
Jackson/Buffet
Standard Tuning – Chord D*= 020032 Tabbed by: Mike Wilson
G C D
The sun is hot, and that old clock is moving slow.
D*
And so am I
G C D
The work day passes slower than molasses in wintertime
D*
But it’s July
C D
I’m getting paid by the hour and older by the minute
C D
The boss just pushed me over the limit
C D
I’d like to call him something
C D G
I think I’ll just call it a day
Chorus
G C D
Pour me something tall and strong. Make it a hurricane before I go insane
G C D
It’s only half past twelve But I don’t care
D G
It’s five o’clock somewhere
G C D
This lunch break is going to take all afternoon
D*
And half the night
G C D
Tomorrow morning I know there’ll be hell to pay
D*
Hey but that’s all right
C D
I haven’t had a day off now in over a year
C D
My Jamaican vacation starts right here
C
If the phones for me
D G
You can tell them I just sailed away
Chorus Repeat
C D C G
I could pay up my tab. Pour myself in a cab and be back to work before two.
C D
At a moment like this, I can’t help but wonder
C G
What would Jimmy Buffet do. (I think he’d say….)
Chorus Repeat (and some general beach banter)
