GOOD INTENTIONS PAVING COMPANY - JOANNA NEWSOM
C F
Twenty miles left to the show
Am F
Hello, my old country, hello
C G
Stars are just beginning to appear
D
And I have never in my life before been here
C F
And it's my heart, not me, who cannot drive
Am F
At which conclusion you arrived
C G
Watching me sit here bolt upright and cry
Dm
For no good reason at the Eastering sky
C
And the tilt of this strange nation
Bb
And the will to remain for the duration
Am
Waving the flag
Bb
Feeling it drag
C
Like a bump on a bump on a log, baby
Bb
Like I'm in a fist fight with a fog, baby
Am
Step-ball-change and a pirouette
Bb
And I regret, I regret
G
How I said to you, "honey, just open your heart"
F C
When I've got trouble even opening a honey jar
Bb
And that right there is where we are...
C F
And I been 'fessing double fast
Am F
Addressing questions nobody asked
C G
I'll get this joy off of my chest at last
Dm
And I will love you 'til the noise has long since passed
(same as just above)
And I did not mean to shout, just drive
Just get us out, dead or alive
A road too long to mention, lord, it's something to see!
Laid down by the good intentions paving company
C
All the way to the thing we've been playing at, darlin'
Bb
I can see that you're wearing your staying hat, darlin'
Am
For the time being all is well
Bb
Won't you love me a spell?
(same as just above)
This is blindness beyond all conceiving
Well, behind us the road is leaving, yeah, leaving
And falling back
Like a rope gone slack
G
Well, I saw straight away that the lay was steep
F C
But I fell for you, honey, as easy as falling asleep
Bb
And that right there is the course I keep...
C D
And no amount of talking
F C
Is going to soften the fall
Bb F
But, like after the rain, step out
G Am
Of the overhang, that's all
It had a nice a ring to it
When the ol' opry house rang
So with a solemn auld lang
Signed, sealed, delivered, I sang
And there is hesitation
And it always remains
Concerning you, me,
And the rest of the gang
And in our quiet hour
I feel I see everything
And am in love with the hook
Upon which everyone hangs
And I know you meant to show the extent
To which you gave a goddang
You ranged real hot and real cold but I'm sold
I am home on that range
Bb F
And I do hate to fold
G Am
Right here at the top of my game
Bb F
When I've been trying with my whole heart and soul
G Am
To stay right here in the right lane
Bb F
But it can make you feel over and old
G Am
Lord, you know it's a shame
Bb F
When I only want for you to pull over and hold me
G Am
'Til I can't remember my own name
C F
Twenty miles left to the show
