[Verse 1]

       Bb
Well I walked on down to the pub again
    F
And sank into the oblivion
       Eb
When I ran into my old friend Pat
    Gm                 F
Who knew just where my head was at
   Bb
We made our way to the end of the bar
    F
And ordered up ourselves a jar
     Eb
When someone said it's not quite noon
  Gm                       F
I said it's early but it's not too soon

[Chorus]

Cm
   It's five o'clock somewhere
Eb
   it's time for another
Bb
   Yeah I'm gonna drink it all up
F        Eb
   oh my ale is dear

          Bb
Well it's what I need today
                F
Cause I've been working like a slave
       Eb
And my head feels like a gun
         Gm                F
And it's all been said and done
         Bb
Well I'm caught up in the craze
          F
Like some beggar on the stray
          Eb
There's a lunatic inside
              Gm             F
That keeps me wasted all the time
       Bb
To the pubs I will go
           F
Where I'll drink
                          Eb
With my brothers and your sisters
                          Gm     F
And your mothers and your lovers
       Bb
To the pubs we will go
            F
Where we'll sink with each other
          Eb
With your sisters with your brothers
     Gm          F
With you mothers

[Chorus]

Cm
   It's five o'clock somewhere it's
Eb
   time for another
   Bb
   Days never seem so long
           F
   But the nights were never long enough
Eb
   It's five o'clock somewhere so let's have another
Gm
   Yeah I'm gonna drink it all up
                Bb
   oh my ale is dear

Oh well the night here never ends
            F              Eb
It's always five up in the den
        Bb                            F      Eb
So I'll hang around and get into your gutter
       Bb                             F           Eb
We can rant and we can rave 'til they put us in a grave
           Bb                               F      Eb
Then we'll get up and we'll have ourselves another
