Dolly Parton - 9 to 5
Originally in D, I play in A capo 1 or 2
Highest note is the 5 (“crazy if you let it”,
but *mostly* the highest note is the 3
Intro, with chromatic walks up to the root
A
Vox on 1 3 5 6 1
ATumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen
Vox on 1 3 5 6 1 of the chord
DPour myself a cup of ambition
Vox stay on the 1 of the chord on “yawn”
AAnd yawn n’ stretch n’ and try to come to Elife
AJump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin’
DOut on the streets the traffic starts jumpin’
With Afolks like me on the Ejob from 9 to A5
Vox on the 7
Workin’ D79 to 5, what a way to make a livin’
Barely A7gettin’ by, it’s all takin’ and no givin’
They just D7use your mind, and they never give you credit
It’s B7enough to drive you E7crazy if you let it
D79 to 5, for service and devotion
You would A7think that I would deserve a fair promotion
Want to D7move ahead but the boss won’t seem to let me
I B7swear sometimes that man is E7out to get me
A
They Alet you dream just to watch ‘em shatter
You’re Djust a step on the boss man’s ladder
But Ayou got dreams he’ll never take aEway
AIn the same boat with a lot of your friends
DWaitin’ for the day your ship’ll come in
And the Atide’s gonna turn an’ it’s Eall gonna roll your Away
Workin’ D79 to 5, what a way to make a livin’
Barely A7gettin’ by, it’s all takin’ and no givin’
They just D7use your mind, and they never give you credit
It’s B7enough to drive you E7crazy if you let it
D79 to 5, for service and devotion
You would A7think that I would deserve a fair promotion
Want to D7move ahead but the boss won’t seem to let me
I B7swear sometimes that man is E7out to get me
Repeat to fade
