Capo on 4 
 Key of D 

 VERSE:1
 D
 Tumble outta bed and a'stumble to the kitchen
 G
 Pour myself a cup of ambition
 D                                        A
 And yawn n' stretch n' and try to come to life

 D
 Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'
 G
 Out on the streets the traffic starts jumpin'
     D                    A           D 
 With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

 

 CHORUS:
         G
 Workin' 9 to 5 - what a way to make a livin'
        D
 Barely gettin' by - it's all takin' and no givin'
          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 mmmmmmm

VERSE:2
 D
 They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter
        G
 You're just a step on the boss man's ladder
     D                                A
 But you got dreams he'll never take away
 D
 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 an' it's all gonna roll your way

 

 CHORUS:
         G
 Workin' 9 to 5 - what a way to make a livin'
        D
 Barely gettin' by - it's all takin' and no givin'
           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 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 wallet
 
 


 Bridge:
 G
 9 to 5 - what a way to make a livin'
        D
 Barely gettin' by - it's all takin' and no givin'
           G
 They just use you mind - and they never give you credit
      E                  A
 It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
 G
 9 to 5, yeah - they got you where they want you
           D
 There's a better life - and you dream 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 wallet
