Intro: C F C G 

Verse 

C                    F 
Midnight turned into 2 and to 3 
      C                   G 
And a 4 hours sleep ain't right 
        C               F 
We've got things to do, places to see 
     C              G 
And fun to be had tonight 
           Am 
So bring us eggs over easy 
           G 
Make that bacon greasy 
            C                       F 
Is that the hair of the dog that I hear 
     C               F 
It's 10 am on this ocean pier 
      C 
And I'm sippin' on breakfast beer 

 
  G 
Breakfast beer it'll kill a hangover 
F                    C 
Tip it on back so you don't get sober 
G                                    F 
Add a little clam and a Caesar on the side 
 G 
Ain't no rules when you're on a vacation 
F                         C 
Best dang time for a time well wasted 
 G                                  F 
Ain't nobody gonna judge me way down here 
G                    C         F 
Sippin' on breakfast beer 

Verse 
C                    F 
If I was back home I might not be 
C                 G 
Partying quite so hard 
        C 
But when you're this far South 
            F               C 
It ain't so bad, just to let down your guard 
          Am 
There's no clock to be punchin' 
             G 
No pressure no fussin' 
C                 F 
Yeah the coast is clear 
      C             F 
It's 10 am on this ocean pier 
         C 
And I'm sippin' on breakfast beer 

 
G 
Breakfast beer it'll kill a hangover 
F                      C

Add a little clam and a Caesar on the side 
G 
Ain't no rules when you're on a vacation 
F                    C 
Best dang time for a time well wasted 
G                                    F 
Ain't nobody gonna judge me way down here
