Joanna Newsom – Good Intentions Paving Company chords

GOOD INTENTIONS PAVING COMPANY - JOANNA NEWSOM

C			FTwenty miles left to the show
Am			FHello, my old country, hello
C			     GStars are just beginning to appear
				DAnd I have never in my life before been here

C			FAnd it's my heart, not me, who cannot drive
Am			FAt which conclusion you arrived
C			     GWatching me sit here bolt upright and cry
				DmFor no good reason at the Eastering sky

				C			And the tilt of this strange nation
				BbAnd the will to remain for the duration
	    AmWaving the flag
	   BbFeeling it drag

			   CLike a bump on a bump on a log, baby
				BbLike I'm in a fist fight with a fog, baby
			    AmStep-ball-change and a pirouette
	BbAnd I regret, I regret

	GHow I said to you, "honey, just open your heart"
	F				   CWhen I've got trouble even opening a honey jar
				BbAnd that right there is where we are...

C			FAnd I been 'fessing double fast
Am			FAddressing questions nobody asked
C			    GI'll get this joy off of my chest at last
			     DmAnd 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

					CAll the way to the thing we've been playing at, darlin'
					BbI can see that you're wearing your staying hat, darlin'
			 AmFor the time being all is well
		    BbWon'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					CBut I fell for you, honey, as easy as falling asleep
				BbAnd that right there is the course I keep...

C		 DAnd no amount of talking
	     F		CIs going to soften the fall
		    Bb	  FBut, like after the rain, step out
	G   AmOf 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		FAnd I do hate to fold
		G		AmRight here at the top of my game
				Bb		FWhen I've been trying with my whole heart and soul
	G			AmTo stay right here in the right lane
			Bb		FBut it can make you feel over and old
	  G		AmLord, you know it's a shame
			Bb			FWhen I only want for you to pull over and hold me
		G		Am'Til I can't remember my own name
