[Intro] C F C G [Chorus]
G           C                 F
I got those 5:01 blues another work day is over

  C                    G
Time to go home but no one to go home to

       C                    F
That whistle just blew bad news

           G
I'll punch out and put in

         G
Another long night again, missin' you

                   C
I got these 5:01 blues
[Verse 1]
C
I used to watch that old clock on the wall

                            G
Wishin' I could make time fly

G
But ever since you walked out on me

  C                 F              G
Quittin' time just make me wanna cry
[Chorus]

I got those 5:01 blues another work day is over

Time to go home but no one to go home to

             C                F
That whistle just blew bad news

           G
I'll punch out and put in

I've got these 5:01 blues
[Interlude] C F G C [Verse 2]
C
I could go out and find somebody new

                    G
I'd only spoil her fun

    G
My mind still says that it's time to love you

           C                 F       G
When the clock says the workday is done
[Chorus]

N.C. One more [Chorus]

         G
Another long night again, missin' you

                      C
