Road Of Good Intentions chords by John Gorka

• Capo on 4th

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

CHORUS:
    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    GC
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


CHORUS:
    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


CHORUS:
    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


OUTRO: F G C
