9 to 5 (Listen to midi) (Listen to sample)

D

1. Tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen,

G

pour myself a cup of ambition,

D A

and yawn, and stretch, and try to come to life.

D

Jump in the shower, and the blood starts pumping,

G

out on the street, the traffic starts jumping,

D A D

with folks like me on the job from 9 to 5.

G

Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living,

D

barely getting by, it's all taking and no giving.

G

They just use your mind, and they never give you credit,

E A

it's enough to drive you crazy, if you let it.

G

9 to 5, for service and devotion,

D

you would think that I would deserve a fair promotion.

G

Want to move ahead, but the boss won't seem to let me,

E A D ~

I swear sometimes, that man is out to get me.

D

2. They let you dream just to watch them shatter,

G

you're just a step on the boss man's ladder,

D A

but you've got dreams he'll never take away.

D

You`re in the same boat with a lot of your friends,

G

waitin' for the day your ship'll come in,

D A D

and the tide's gonna turn, and it's all gonna roll your way.

G

Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living,

D

barely getting by, it's all taking and no giving.

G

They just use your mind, and you never get the credit,

E A

it's enough to drive you crazy, if you let it.

G

9 to 5, yeah, they've got you where they want you,

D

there's a better life, and you think about it, don't you?

G

It's a rich man's game, no matter what they call it,

E A

and you spend your life putting money in his pocket.

G

Working 9 to 5......
