IT WORKS written by Mickey Cates and Mark Alan Spencer performed by ALABAMA INTRO: D D(9) D G A D D(9) D G A VERSE 1 D Gmaj7 He rattles his glass, she jumps up fast and pours him a glass of tea Asus4 A G Deep in her heart she believes that's the way it should be A(4) D Gmaj7 yeah, and I've seen my dad get fightin' mad over one little four-letter word Asus4 A D he'll tell you fast you don't talk like that around her CHORUS: G A D A/C# Bm D/A We may not see it the way they see it we may not do it the way they do it Gmaj7 AD A/C# Bm but she lives here life for him he'd gladly die for her D/A G AEA7 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 DABm# G A D If the good Lord's willin', there will come a day Bm G AsuD4 When our children will say (REPEAT CHORUS) DABD/A G AEA7 D Dsus4 Even in this modern age it works Chords: D xx0232 D(9)xx4230 or xx0230 G 320003 or 320033 A x02220 Asus 4 x02230 A(4) x00220 A7 x02020 A/C# x42220 Bm x24432 E 022100 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.
