INTRO:  |D  D9  D|G  A  |D  D9  D|G  A  | 
 
VERSE 1                                     
   D                                        Gmaj7 
He rattles his glass, she jumps up fast and pours him a glass of tea 
Asus4                          A                          |D  |G 
Deep in her heart she believes that's the way it should be 
    A4      |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 
 
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                       A    D           A/C#       Bm 
but she lives here life for him      he'd gladly die for her   
  D/A             G         |A  E A7  | 
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 
 
|D |  A/C# Bm                    G     A                 D 
            If the good Lord's willin', there will come a day 
  Bm               G         Asus4   |A D | 
      When our children will say 
                     
{REPEAT CHORUS}           
               
   D A/C# Bm D/A          G          A E A7      D   |G A |Bm   |G Asus4 A|D 
             Even in this modern age        it works 
 
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.
