Nine to Five
Dolly Parton
Intro: [D]
[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 [A]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 nine to [D]five
[Stop]
Working [G]nine to five, 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 e[E]nough to drive you [A]crazy if you let it
[G]Nine to five, 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 [E]swear sometimes, that man is [A] out to get me
They [D]let you dream just to watch ‘em shatter,
You’re [G]just a step on the boss man’s ladder,
But [D]you’ve got dreams he’ll never take a[A]way
You’re [D]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
[Stop]
Working [G]nine to five, 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 [E]enough to drive you [A]crazy if you let it
[G]Nine to five, 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 [E]spend your life putting [A]money in his pocket[D]
[Stop]
