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

A And who has the G fun A is it always the man with the E7 gun
G Someone must have told him if you Bm work too hard
You can A sweat

If you're mad eAnough

Clementine [D]Percy Montrose

In a D cavern, in a canyon, excavating for a A mine,
Lived a A7 miner, forty-Dniner, and his A daughter ClemenDtine.

Oh my Ddarling, oh my darling, oh my darling ClemenAtine
Thou art lost and gone forDever, dreadful A sorry, ClemenDtine.

Light she D was, and like a fairy, and her shoes were number A7nine,
Herring A7 boxes without D topses, sandals A were for ClemenDtine.

Oh my Ddarling, oh my darling, oh my darling ClemenAtine
Thou art lost and gone forDever, dreadful A sorry, ClemenDtine.

Walking D lightly as a fairy, though her shoes were number A nine,
Sometimes A7 tripping, lightly D skipping, lovely Agirl, my ClemenDtine

Oh my Ddarling, oh my darling, oh my darling ClemenAtine
Thou art lost and gone forDever, dreadful A sorry, ClemenDtine.

Drove she D ducklings to the water every morning just at A nine,
Hit her A7 foot against a D splinter, fell inAto the foaming D brine.

Oh my Ddarling, oh my darling, oh my darling ClemenAtine
Thou art lost and gone forDever, dreadful A sorry, ClemenDtine.

Ruby D lips above the water, blowing bubbles soft and A fine, But a A7las,
I was no Dswimmer, so I A lost ClemenDtine.

Oh my Ddarling, oh my darling, oh my darling ClemenAtine
Thou art lost and gone forDever, dreadful A sorry, ClemenDtine.

In my D dreams she still doth haunt me, robed in garments soaked in A brine,
Though in A7 life I used to D hug her, now she’s A dead I draw the D line!

Oh my Ddarling, oh my darling, oh my darling ClemenAtine
Thou art lost and gone forDever, dreadful A sorry, ClemenDtine.
