Hey..hey..hey..hey..

#1.
E        D               E      D
Up every mornin' just to keep a job,
        E        D               
I gotta fight my way through the 
E        D
hustling mob.
E             D             E    
Sounds of the city poundin' in my 
 D
brain,
      E           D           
While another day goes down the 
  E            E7
drain. Yeah, yeah.

CHORUS:#1.
E7         A            D       
But it's a five o'clock world 
       A       D
when the whistle blows,
A             D           A    D
No one owns a piece of my time.
             A            D    A 
And theres a five o'clock me 
      D
inside my clothes,
A                             B  
Thinkin' that the world looks 
   B7
fine, yeah.

#2.
E          D            E     D
Tradin' my time for the pay I get,
E         D            E         
Livin' on money that I ain't made 
 D
yet.
E          D               E     
Gotta keep goin' tryin' to make my 
  D
way,
        E            D        
While I live for the end of the 
  E          E7
day.(Yeah, yeah.)

CHORUS:#2.
E7         A            D       
But it's a five o'clock world 
       A       D
when the whistle blows,
A             D           A   D
No one owns a piece of my time.
              A           D        
And there's a long-haired girl who 
A        D
waits, I know,
   A                B     B7
To ease my troubled mind, yeah.

#3.
E                     D 
In the shelter of her arms 
        E       D
everything's OK.
    E                 D          
She talks and the the world goes 
E         D
slippin' away.
    E          D            E    
And I know the reason I can still
    D
 go on,
     E           D         E     
When every other reason is gone, 
      E7
yeah, yeah.

CHORUS:#3.
E7    A            D         A 
In my five o'clock world she 
        D
waits for me.
A            D          A   D
Nothing else matters at all.
D     A             D    A      
Cause every time my baby smiles at 
   D
me,
A                         B      
I know thats it's all worthwhile. 
B7
Yeah.
