Intro:
[D] [D]
[Verse 1]
[D] Tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen

[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 [D] 9 to 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 away [A7]
[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 [D] roll your way [D*]

|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 think 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 pocket
|[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

[G] quarter to four.
[G] Read a maga[D7^2]zine and then you're [G] in Balti[G7]more.
[C] Dinner in the [A7] diner, [G] nothing could be [E7] finer
[A7] Than to have your ham and eggs in [D7-alt] Carolina.
[G] When you hear the [D7-alt] whistle blowing [G] eight to the bar,
[G] Then you know that [D7-alt] Tennessee is [G] not very [G7] far.
[C] Shovel all your [A7] coal in, [G] gotta keep a-[E7]rollin'.
[Am/C] Whoo whoo, [D7^2] Chattanooga, [Am/C] there you [G] are!
[C] There's gonna be a certain [F] party at the [C] station.
[C] Satin and [D7-alt] lace, [G7] I used to call [C] funny-face. [F] [G7]
[C] She's gonna cry [C7] until I tell her that I'll [F] never roam [Fm]
So, [C] Chattanooga [Am/C] Choo-Choo,
[F] Won’t you [G] choo-choo me[C] home? [C]
Chattanooga, Chattanooga (Get aboard!)
[C] Chattanooga, Chattanooga (All aboard!)
Yeah, [C] Chattanooga [Am/C] Choo-Choo,

Clementine - Percy Montrose
In a [D] cavern, in a canyon, excavating for a [A] mine,
Lived a [A7] miner, forty-[D]niner, and his [A] daughter Clemen[D]tine.
Oh my [D]darling, oh my darling, oh my darling Clemen[A]tine
Thou art lost and gone for[D]ever, dreadful [A] sorry, Clemen[D]tine.
Light she [D] was, and like a fairy, and her shoes were number [A7]nine,
Herring [A7] boxes without [D] topses, sandals [A] were for Clemen[D]tine.
Oh my [D]darling, oh my darling, oh my darling Clemen[A]tine
Thou art lost and gone for[D]ever, dreadful [A] sorry, Clemen[D]tine.
Walking [D] lightly as a fairy, though her shoes were number [A] nine,
Sometimes [A7] tripping, lightly [D] skipping, lovely [A]girl, my Clemen[D]tine
Oh my [D]darling, oh my darling, oh my darling Clemen[A]tine
Thou art lost and gone for[D]ever, dreadful [A] sorry, Clemen[D]tine.
Drove she [D] ducklings to the water every morning just at [A] nine,
Hit her [A7] foot against a [D] splinter, fell in[A]to the foaming [D] brine.
Oh my [D]darling, oh my darling, oh my darling Clemen[A]tine
Thou art lost and gone for[D]ever, dreadful [A] sorry, Clemen[D]tine.
Ruby [D] lips above the water, blowing bubbles soft and [A] fine, But a [A7]las,
I was no [D]swimmer, so I [A] lost Clemen[D]tine.
Oh my [D]darling, oh my darling, oh my darling Clemen[A]tine
Thou art lost and gone for[D]ever, dreadful [A] sorry, Clemen[D]tine.
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 [D]darling, oh my darling, oh my darling Clemen[A]tine
Thou art lost and gone for[D]ever, dreadful [A] sorry, Clemen[D]tine.
