It Works

written by Mickey Cates and Mark Alan Spencer performed by ALABAMA INTRO: | | VERSE 1 He rattles his glass, she jumps up fast and pours him a glass of tea Deep in her heart she believes that's the way it should be yeah, and I've seen my dad get fightin' mad over one little four-letter word he'll tell you fast you don't talk like that around her We may not see it the way they see it we may not do it the way they do it but she lives here life for him he'd gladly die for her | and even in this modern age it works VERSE 2: Though he's been down in his back he still jumps out of that sack ev'ry mornin' at 5a.m. Having her home with the kids has been worth it to him yeah and she takes pride in bein' his wife and making their house a home and sometimes she wishes the world would just leave them alone {REPEAT CHORUS} BRIDGE | If the good Lord's willin', there will come a day | When our children will say {REPEAT CHORUS} Even in this modern age it works I usually strum or pick the intro alternating between a x00230 and doing a x20033 instead of regular G. Also for the transition with the chords strings at the 2nd fret, then to 4th (for Dstr) and 3rd (for Bstr) frets to the 5th fret and that sounds alright.
