9 To 5 chords by Alison Krauss

• Capo on 4th

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
G D C/D D7 Am

Verse:
D
I tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen,
G
Pour myself a cup of ambition,
  D                  A  Dm7
And yawn and stretch, trying to come to life,
 D
I jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping,
G
Out on the streets the traffic starts jumping,
   D          A      Dm7 F
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5.

Chorus:
    G6  G7           G6
Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living,
    D
Barely getting by, it's all taking and no giving,
     G7                  G6
They just use your mind and they never give you credit,
   E     G6    E7/G#    A
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it.

Dm D7 F#dim7 D C6

D
They let you dream just to watch'em shatter,
    G7
You're just a step on the boss man's ladder,
        D            A
But you've got dreams he'll never take away,
    D            G
You're in the same boat with a lot of your friends,
G7
Waiting for the day your ship'll come in,
  D                  A      Dm7 F
The tides gonna turn and it's all gonna roll you away.

Chorus:
    G6  G7           G6
Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living,
D
Barely getting by, it's all taking and no giving,
     G7                  G6
They just use your mind and they never give you credit,
   E     G6    E7/G#     A
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it.

Outro:
Dm Dm6 D G7 E G6 A G7
