Verse: Gb Tumble outta bed and a`stumble to the kitchen B Pour myself a cup of ambition Gb Db And yawn n` stretch n` and try to come to life Gb Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin` B Out on the streets the traffic starts jumpin` Gb Db Gb With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5 Chorus: B Workin` 9 to 5 - what a way to make a livin` Gb Barely gettin` by - it`s all takin` and no givin` B They just use your mind - and they never give you credit Ab Db It`s enough to drive you crazy if you let it B 9 to 5 - for service and devotion Gb You would think that I would deserve a fair promotion B Want to move ahead but the boss won`t seem to let me Ab Db Gb I swear sometimes that man is out to get me mmmmmmm Verse: Gb They let you dream just to watch `em shatter B You`re just a step on the boss man`s ladder Gb Db But you got dreams he`ll never take away Gb In the same boat with a lot of your friends B Waitin` for the day your ship`ll come in Gb Db Gb And the tide`s gonna turn an` it`s all gonna roll your way Chorus: B Workin` 9 to 5 - what a way to make a livin` Gb Barely gettin` by - it`s all takin` and no givin` B They just use your mind - and you never get the credit Ab Db It`s enough to drive you crazy if you let it B 9 to 5, yeah - they got you where they want you Gb There`s a better life - and you think about it don`t you B It`s a rich man`s game - no matter what they call it Ab Db And you spend your life putting money in his wallet B 9 to 5 - what a way to make a livin` Gb Barely gettin` by - it`s all takin` and no givin` B They just use you mind - and they never give you credit Ab Db It`s enough to drive you crazy if you let it B 9 to 5, yeah - they got you where they want you Gb There`s a better life - and you dream about it don`t you B It's a rich man`s game - no matter what they call it Ab Db And you spend your life putting money in his wallet This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

How to play 9 To 5 on ukulele
On ukulele, 9 To 5 comes down to the island strum: d – d u – u d u. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 104 bpm with a light swing. You are playing it in Gb major. This one leans on trickier shapes, with the chords at the proficient level. For easier shapes, shift it down 2 half-steps with the transposer and clip a capo on fret 2 to land back in the same key. Bounce a shuffled strum and push the offbeats for that swing.
