[Verse 1]
    D              G                 D               A     D
The sun is hot and that old clock is movin' slow and so am I
D              G                Bm             A    D
Workday passes like molasses in wintertime but it's July
            G                    D
I'm getting paid by the hour and older by the minute
   A                   D
My boss just pushed me over the limit
            G
I'd like to call him something
  D                         A
I think I'll just call it a day

[Chorus]
D                 G
Pour me something tall and strong
          A                  D
Make it a hurricane before I go insane
     D              G              A
It's only half past 12 but I don't care
N.C.              D         G   A   D
It's five o'clock somewhere

[Verse 2]
     D                   G               D            A        D
Well this lunch break is gonna take all afternoon and half the night
  D                A                Bm                   A        D
Tomorrow mornin' I know there'll be hell to pay but baby that's alright
      G                    D
Ain't had a day off now in over a year
   A                         D
My Jamaican vacation's gonna start right here
       G                      D                              A
If the phone's for me you can tell 'em I've just sailed away

[Chorus]
    D                 G
And pour me something tall and strong
          A                D
Make it a hurricane before I go insane
     D              G              A
It's only half past 12 but I don't care
                  D
It's five o'clock somewhere

[Instrumental]
(D)  G   A   D
 D   G   A   D

[Bridge]
        Bm
I could pay off my tab
       G 
pour myself in a cab
       A                   D
and be back to work before 2
     Bm
At a moment like this
  G 
I can't help but wonder
Em                          A
   What would Jimmy Buffett do?
(Funny you should ask, Alan)

[Chorus]
        D                 G
I'd say pour me something tall and strong
          A                D
Make it a hurricane before I go insane
     D              G              A
It's only half past 12 but I don't care

D                 G
Pour me something tall and strong
          A                D
Make it a hurricane before I go insane
     D              G              A             A7
It's only half past 12 but I don't care, I don't care
N.C.              D         G   A   D
It's five o'clock somewhere

[Outro]
D  G  A  D
