Good Intentions(Chords)

	        (Ab7)             (Db9) 
It's a sunny day in sunny California 
         (Ab7)                      (E9)          (Eb9) 
But that old sun it's shining on me right here at home 
                  (Ab7) 
It's one of those days 
                                         (Db9) 
When those great ideas they just seem to fall out on you 
                (Ab7)                         (E9)      (Eb9) 
And they always fall the greatest when you're falling all alone 
               Ab13 
It makes for a good day for some serious reflection 
Db9 
And massive rationalization 
                      Ab13 
For contemplating the future of the future 
         E9         Eb9 
And the last of the past 
              Ab7 
And wondering if you could ever forgive me darling 
        Db9 
All the trouble that I put to you 
               Ab7 
And if I could forget all those questions 
     E9      Eb9 
That I never asked 
                     Db9 
And if I could forgive 
                                 Ab13 
The temporary weight gain due to excessive water retention 
Db9                      Ab13 
I could forgive the rest too 
            Db9 
It's just a fact of life 
            Ab13      Db7 
That no one cares to mention 
Ab7        Db9 
She wasn't good  
            E9         Eb9 
But she had good intentions 
 
 
VERSE 2 
So the grass it grows 
When the sun it shines 
And face it glows 
When the woman's mine 
And you say I'm a fool-around 
Honey that may be true 
But I'd sooner fool around 
Than be a fool for a fool 
And if I could forgive 
The unadulterated adulterating apprehension 
I could forgive the rest too 
It's just a fact of life 
That no one cares to mention 
She wasn't good 
But she had good intentions 
 
 
SOLO (see TAB below) 
 
 
VERSE 3 
So I'm twenty-six and rising 
Still too young to live 
But too low to go 
I guess it's the process 
Of learning to excess 
All of those things 
That you already know 
And if I could forgive 
The honey-I swear-it-didn't-mean-a-thing-to-me 
Attempt at abstention 
I could forgive the rest too 
It's just a fact of life 
That no one cares to mention 
She wasn't good 
But she had good intentions 
 
She wasn't good 
But she had good intentions
