    D             A7                 D            A7
The sun is hot and that old clock is moving slow  And, so am I
   D               A7                Bm
The work day passes like molasses, in wintertime
     A7    D
But, it's July
      G
Gettin paid by the hour
    D
And older by the minute
A7                  D
Boss just pushed me over the limit
        G
Like to call him something
D                        A7
Think I'll just call it a day
    D                 G
    Pour me something tall and strong
              A7               D
    Make it a Hurricane before I go insane
                         G                  A7
    It's only half past twelve, but I don't care
    (No Chord)        D
     It's 5 o'clock, somewhere

      D                  A7               D             A7
Well, this lunch break is gonna take all afternoon  And half the night
  D               A7                  Bm
Tomorrow morning,   I know there'll be hell to pay
        A7        D
Hey but, that's alright
      G
Ain't had a day off now
    D
In over a year
   A7
My Jamaican vacation's
      D
Gonna start right here
       G
If the phone's for me
       D                            A7
You can tell them I've just sailed away
    D                 G
    Pour me something tall and strong
              A7               D
    Make it a Hurricane before I go insane
                        G                   A7
    It's only half past twelve, but I don't care
                    D
    It's 5 o'clock, somewhere

        Bm
I could pay off my tab
      Bm/A               G         A          D
Pour myself in cab and be back to work before two
     Bm
At a moment like this
  Bm/A
I can't help but wonder
Em                       A7
 What would Jimmy Buffett do
          D                 G
I'd say - Pour me something tall and strong
          A7               D 
Make it a Hurricane before I go insane
                    G                   A7
It's only half past twelve, but I don't care
    D                 G
    Pour me something tall and strong
              A7               D
    Make it a Hurricane before I go insane
                        G                   A7
    It's only half past twelve, but I don't care
     G  
    No, I don't care
    (No Chord)       D
    It's 5 o'clock, somewhere
