It Works Lyrics

IT WORKS
performed by ALABAMA
INTRO: D D(9) D G A D D(9) D G A
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
CHORUS:
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)
#
If the good Lord's willin', there will come a day
su
When our children will say
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Even in this modern age it works
Chords:
D(9)xx4230 or xx0230
G 320003 or 320033
A/C# x42220
I usually strum or pick the intro alternating between a D x00232 and a D(9)
x00230 and doing a G/B x20033 instead of regular G. Also for the transition
with the chords A E A7 right together, I sometimes pick/slide up the D and B
strings at the 2nd fret, then to 4th (for Dstr) and 3rd (for Bstr) frets to
the 5th fret and that sounds alright.
