[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

[Refrão]

 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

        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

It's only half past twelve. But I don't care
