Good Intentions by Toad the Wet Sprocket Taken from the album In Light Syrup or from the Soundtrack to "Friends" Music by Glen Phillips and Toad Lyrics by Toad
THIS IS MY FAVORITE BAND!!! This is how I play it, and it may not mean it's right. But it's a great song. Comments & suggestions, welcome.
INTRO:
chord is a D5, structured x0023x the little riff played over it looks like this:
e ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ D -0-0h2-0--7p5p4-----0-0h2-0-------0-----(REPEAT)------------------ A -----------------------------0h2---------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: the '7s5s4' is one fluid motion h=hammer p=pick off
It's hard to rely on my good intentions When my head's full of things that I can't mention
It seems I usually get things right But I can't understand what I did last night
(INTRO AGAIN)
And it's hard to rely on my own good senses When I miss so much that requires attention
I have to laugh at myself sometimes And I can't see that I'm not blind
CHORUS:
There's little relief Give us reprieve Ho-oh
For all the things I've left behind
I'm positive that I'm not blind
Here's the little riff played over the D5 chord in the chorus (it's only one the B string)
---8-7-5-3------------------
BACK TO INTRO
I'm not afraid that things won't get better But it feels like this has gone on forever
You have to cry with your own good tears You have to laugh with your own good cheers
And it's hard to rely on my good intentions When my heads full of things that I can't mention
It seems I usually get things right But I can't understand what I did last night
CHORUS
only change is 3rd lyrics:
And imagine in the world outside I'm positive that I'm not blind
I can't be hard on you
Cos I know I've been there too
A lot of things for you
Ho-oh
CHORUS
When everyone is cold outside I clench my fists and close my eyes Imagining the world outside And I can't see that I'm not blind
