Good Intentions Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][A][Bm][A]

[Verse 1]
[D]Mama always prayed
that I'd be a [G]better man than [D]daddy
And I determined not to let her [A]down
[D]Deserted by the man she loved
and [G]left to raise four [D]children
We were the local [A]gossip of the town
[D]

[Verse 2]
I promised her that I'd live right
and [G]not be like the [D]others
But I wound up in jail on [A]Christmas day
[D]I told her I'd be home and not to
[G]worry 'bout my [D]brothers
When I got home my [A]mom
had passed away
[D]

[Verse 3]
And I hear tell [G]the road to hell is
[D]paved with good intentions
But mama my intentions
were [A]the best
[D]There's lots of things [G]in my life
[D]I just as soon not mention
Looks like I've turned out like all [A]the rest
But [G]mama my in[A]tentions
were [D]the best
[G][D]

[Verse 4]
[A][Bm]
[A]A lit[D]tle boy with big blue eyes
a-beggin' [G]to to go fish[D]in'
I promised him but never took [A]the time
Now [D]they won't let me see him
and [G]I sit here a-wishin'
[D]Wishin' I I could [A]hold him one more [D]time

[Verse 5]
And [D]I hear tell the r[G]oad to hell is
[D]paved with good intentions
But mama my intentions
were the [A]best
[D]There's lots of things [G]in my life
I [D]just as soon not mention
Looks like I've turned out like all [A]the rest
But [G]mama my in[A]tentions were [D]the best
But [G]mama my in[D]ten[A]tions were the be[D]st
