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
