Bless The Broken Road
 by Rascal Flatts
  "Feels Like Today" Album (2004)
    
Here's their brand new single. I got a chance to see this one live about a week before
it was aired on radio, man this was a great one they did. This song is bound to be Number
1, just watch. Its a great and a beautiful song. I hope you all enjoy it.

Intro: C F G C (2x)

Verse:
C                          F    G      C
I set out on a narrow way many years ago
 C                              F        G      C
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
    Am            F
But I got lost a time or two
 G                      C 
Wiped my brow and kept pushin' through
C                              F         G         C
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

Chorus:
            F          C               G       C
That every long lost dream led me to where you are
             F        C                    F         G
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
            F      C             G     C
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
              Am
This much I know is true..
      C                                F        G         C
That God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you

(Repeat Intro)

Verse:
I think about the years I've spent just passin' through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there, you understand
Its all part of a grander plan that is comin' true

CHORUS

Solo: (Not sure about the chords here; I just play the Intro again)

Chorus 2:
                  F       C            G      C
And now I'm just rolling home into my lover's arms
              Am
This much I know is true..
      C                                F        G         C  F G C
That God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you
      C                                F        G         C  F  G  C
That God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you oooooooo
C        F  G    C (let ring)
Oooooooo ooooooo ooo

That's it...on the "oooo"s at the end is where Gary does some of his finest beautiful
vocal improvisation. I've hit his notes a few times and if you can hit them (Guys mostly)
they are really tons of fun to sing.  Good luck with this and enjoy.

Rock On!
Chris
