And I packF#med my bags and mGoved right awAay
[Verse 2]
I said gAoodbye, mama

SiAngin' the same old song

ALRIGHT FOR AN HOUR – ROD STEWART F#m – G - A

[Intro]

F#m G A F#m G

[Verse 1]

Oh, didn't I mess around

Like everybody did

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

With a man that just don't fit"

I said, "I'd better get along

Before I get right under your skin"

Remember the song, wasn't it fun

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]

I said goodbye, mama

I don't owe no ali-money

I paid my dues and payroll cues

Gonna leave it all up to you

I'll take my dog and my car

The best friends I've found so far

and I'll be gone with the mornin' sun

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]

Well I guess you needed somebody

To open each and every door

With a large amount in a Swiss account

To give you thrills and nothing more

But my Volkswagen is hardly

a custom built Ferarri

You want first class but I pump gas,

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

[repeat chorus and riff to fade]
