Road Of Good Intentions

	  		

th Fret 



Intro: C  F  G 

          F      G      C 
There's addition and subtraction 
      F      G   C 
But division overall 
      F       G       F 
Hope, once in fluid motion 
    Dm7      G 
Has slowed behind a crawl 


        F  G       C 
Oh, the images are strong now 
    F         G      C 
The words are pretty good 
                 F       G      F 
But there's more fiction out of Washington 
     Dm7    G 
Than out of Hollywood 



       F       G      C 
On the road of good intentions 
         F    G       Am    F 
All gets justified to hell 
                       C      F  
The price revealed in stories 
          G           C 
Too short, too sad to tell 



INTERLUDE: F  G  C  F  G 


        F         G C 
Is this permanent improvement 
        F      G    C 
Through abbreviated lives 
    F      G      F 
Or another tragic venture 
         Dm7      G 
Shocking when the bill arrives? 


       F      G         C 
By the rubble where the house was 
          F       G      C 
There are markers in the dirt 
         F       G       F 
Children with no need of freedom 
         Dm7    G 
They can no longer be hurt 


       F       G      C 
On the road of good intentions 
         F    G       Am    F 
All gets justified to hell 
                       C      F  
The price revealed in stories 
          G           C 
Too short, too sad to tell 



INTERLUDE: F  G  C  F  G 


        F        G         C 
Oh, the soldiers and their families 
     F        G         C 
With life and limb they pay 
          F        G         F 
While the ones who sent them marching 
       Dm7        G 
Get to dance the night away 


         F         G      C 
I always come back to the soldiers 
           F       G    C 
With their courage and ideals 
               F       G      F 
I've seen them smoking in the airport 
           Dm7     G 
There's no telling how it feels 


       F       G      C 
On the road of good intentions 
         F    G       Am    F 
All gets justified to hell 
                       C      F  
The price revealed in stories 
          G           C 
Too short, too sad to tell
