Intro C  F  G  C 

      C              G 
The sun is hot and that old clock 
     C              G 
Is movin' slow, and so am I 
     C               G 
The work day passes like molasses 
     Am             G 
In winter time, but it's July 

         F 
Getting paid by the hour 
     C 
And older by the minute 
    G 
My boss just pushed me 
 C 
Over the limit 

             F 
I'd like to call him something 
    C                        G 
I think I'll just call it a day 



 C                 F 
Pour me something tall and strong 
            G               C 
Make it a hurricane, before I go insane 
      C               F                  G 
It's only half past twelve. But I don't care 
                   C 
It's five o'clock somewhere 

( C  F  G  C ) 

  C                  G 
This lunch break is gonna take 
     C               G 
All afternoon, half the night 
  C                G                Am 
Tomorrow morning I know there'll be hell to pay 
           G 
But, hey, that's alright 

         F                     C 
I ain't had a day off now, in over a year 
      G                       C 
My Jamaican vacation's gonna start right here 
        F                      C 
If the phone's for me you can tell them 
                  G 
I've just sailed away 

 C                 F 
Pour me something tall and strong 
            G                 C 
Make it a hurricane, before I go insane 
      C               F                  G 
It's only half past twelve. But I don't care

( C  F  G  C ) 
( C  F  G  C ) 

        Am                     F 
I could pay off my tab, pour myself in a cab 
        G                   C 
And be back to work before two 
       Am.                F 
At a moment like this, I can't help but wonder 
 Dm                      G7 
What would Jimmy Buffett do 

Jimmy 

Funny you should ask Alan, I'd say 

 C                 F 
Pour me something tall and strong 
            G                 C 
Make it a hurricane, before I go insane 
      C               F                  G 
It's only half past twelve. But I don't care 

Together 

 C                 F 
Pour me something tall and strong 
            G                 C 
Make it a hurricane, before I go insane 
      C               F                  G 
It's only half past twelve. But I don't care 

Alan 

... But he don't care, I don't care
