Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
The  sun is hot and that  old clock is movin  slow and so  am I
Workday  passes like  molassas in wintertime  but it's  July
I'm  getting paid by the hour and over  by the minute
my  boss just pushed me over  the limit
I'd  like to call him something
I  think I'll just call it a day
Pour  me something tall  and strong
 make it a hurricane  before I  go insane
It's  only half past 12  but I don't care
 It's five o'clock somewhere
This  lunch break is gonna  take all afternoon  and half  the night
Tomorrow  mornin' I  know there'll be hell  to pay but baby that's  alright
Ain't  had a day off now in over  a year,
my  Jamacan vacation's gonna start  right here
 if the phone's  for me, you can tell  em I just sailed away
 Repeat D, G, A D talk to yourself if you want, until the end of song etc. . .
 * I think it sounds better with barre chords, but regular G works too.
