9 to 5 [D] - Dolly Parton
Intro:
[D] [D]
[Verse 1]
[D] Tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen
[G] Pour myself a cup of ambition
And [D] yawn and stretch and try to come to [A7] life
[D] Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping
[G] Out on the street the traffic starts jumping
With [D] folks like me on the [A] job from 9 to [D] 5 [D*]
|Chorus:
|[NC] Working [G] 9 to 5, what a way to make a living
|Barely [D] getting by, it’s all taking and no giving
|They just [G] use your mind and they never give you credit
|It’s [E7] enough to drive you [A] crazy if you let it
[G] 9 to 5, for service and devotion
You would [D] think that I would deserve a fair promotion
Want to [G] move ahead but the boss won’t seem to let me
I [E7] swear sometimes, that man is [A] out to get me
[Bass Riff]
[D] [D]
[Verse 2]
They [D] let you dream just to watch them shatter
You’re [G] just a step on the boss man’s ladder
But [D] you’ve got dreams he’ll never take a- [ A7] way
[D] You’re in the same boat with a lot of your friends
[G] Waiting for the day your ship’ll come in
The [D] tides gonna turn and it’s [A] all gonna roll your [D] way [D*]
|Chorus:
|[NC] Working [G] 9 to 5, what a way to make a living
|Barely [D] getting by, it’s all taking and no giving
|They just [G] use your mind and you never get the credit
|It’s [E7] enough to drive you [A] crazy if you let it
[G] 9 to 5, yeah they’ve got you where they want you
There’s a [D] better life, and you dream about it don’t you
It’s a [G] rich man’s game, no matter what they call it
And you [E7] spend your life putting [A] money in his wallet
|[Chorus]
|[G] 9 to 5, what a way to make a living
|Barely [D] getting by, it’s all taking and no giving
|They just [G] use your mind and then they never give you credit
|It’s [E7] enough to drive you [A] crazy if you let it

She's got a smile that it seems to me
C
Reminds me of childhood memories

Where everything

Now and then when I see her face

She takes me away to that special place

She's got eyes of the bluest skies

Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place

Where as a child I'd hide

And pray for the thunder and rain

To quiet--ly pass me by
