ALRIGHT FOR AN HOUR – ROD STEWART F#m – G - A [Intro] F#m G A F#m G [Verse 1]
     A
Oh, didn't I mess around

      D
Like everybody did

E
I said, "Woman, you're foolin' around

        A
With a man that just don't fit"

          A
I said, "I'd better get along

          D
Before I get right under your skin"

E
Remember the song, wasn't it fun

            A
But it was just one of those things
[Chorus]
        F#m   G           A
It was al - right for an hour

       F#m   G           A
It was al - right for a day

   F#m               G                       A
It did not last, it did not last through the weekend

          F#m             G            A
And I packed my bags and moved right away
[Verse 2]
        A
I said goodbye, mama

         D
I don't owe no ali-money

   E
I paid my dues and payroll cues

       A
Gonna leave it all up to you

      A
I'll take my dog and my car

          D
The best friends I've found so far

     E
and I'll be gone with the mornin' sun

  A
Singin' the same old song
[Chorus]
        F#m   G           A
It was al - right for an hour

       F#m   G           A
It was al - right for a day

   F#m               G                       A
It did not last, it did not last through the weekend

          F#m             G            A
And I packed my bags and moved right away
[Interlude] F#m – G – A x4 (cold stop or tacit last A through drum transition to verse 3) [Verse 3]
        A
Well I guess you needed somebody

         D
To open each and every door

        E
With a large amount in a Swiss account

              A
To give you thrills and nothing more

         A
But my Volkswagen is hardly

   D
a custom built Ferarri

    E
You want first class but I pump gas,

        A
So I'll get on out of your way
[Chorus]
        F#m   G           A
It was al - right for an hour

       F#m   G           A
It was al - right for a day

   F#m               G                       A
It did not last, it did not last through the weekend

          F#m             G            A
And I packed my bags and moved right away

        F#m   G           A
It was al - right for an hour

       F#m   G           A
It was al - right for a day

   F#m               G                       A
It did not last, it did not last through the weekend

          F#m             G            A
And I packed my bags and moved right away
