Nine To Five  by Ray Davies 

Chords presented by Jim Smart and Ian Grant

Intro: Bass G to C (Arpeggio on C)

C                      Am7
  Answering phones and dictating letters 
Dm7              G7        
Making decisions that affect no one. 
C                        Am7
Stuck in the office from nine until five 
F            C            
Life is so incredibly dull, 
Dm7               G  C    
Working from nine to five. 


   F             C         
Oh nine to five, nine to five, 
Dm7               G     C  (melody G)
Working from nine___ to five. 

C     G/C       C                
  And time goes by 
C     G/C        C         
  The hours tick away. 
C       G/C               
  First seconds, 
G/C    C
  Then minutes, 
C    G/C   C    G/C           
Then hours into days. 
F      C/F
  Each day, 
C/F    F
  Each week, 
F       C/F           F
  Seems just like any other. 
C     G/C
  All work, 
G/C  C
  No play, 
C      G/C          C            
  It's just another day. 


C                           Am7
He's caught in a mass of computerised trivia, 
Dm7                  G7    
Deciphering data for mechanical minds. 
     C                         Am7
He's lost in the paperwork and up to his eyes, 
     Dm7                         C              
He's checking a list that's been checked out before 
         Dm7         G        C
And he's starting to lose his mind. 



   F             C         
Oh nine to five, nine to five, 
Dm7               G  C     
Working from nine to five. 
   F             C         
Oh nine to five, nine to five, 
Dm7               G  C     
Working from nine to five.......into "When work is over.."
