How to get the overall average and average per 5 minutes on a Time Chart?

I have a timechart which currently outputs the average value for every 5 minutes over a period of time for the field "SERVICE_TIME_TAKEN" using following query.

service=service1 | timechart span=5m avg(SERVICE_TIME_TAKEN) | fillnull 

I want to add a second line on this same time chart which shows the overall average value. This would be a single value which draws a straight line on the chart.

If I make a separate query, I am able to get this single value using following query.

service=service1 | chart avg(SERVICE_TIME_TAKEN)

How can I combine these 2 queries to to show the data on a single time chart?

Tried the following but it only shows the line with the 5 min average.

service=service1 | timechart span=5m avg(SERVICE_TIME_TAKEN) as service_time | eventstats avg(SERVICE_TIME_TAKEN) as overall_service_time  | fillnull 

This image depicts what I am looking for.
Orange line is the 5 mins average and blue line is the overall average.
