Bless the Broken Road Song Chords

Bless the Broken Road Song Chords

 

Well, everyone, here are some more beginner guitar chords for you!  These are the chords that in my Heart-chords post Stepping Up (www.heartchords.blogspot.com) I promised were coming soon for the song “Bless the Broken Road” by country trio Rascal Flatts.  For a few words about the chords and the fret I chose to place my capo on, refer back to my post Jonny Diaz Song Chords (Jan. 2013).  Again, I picked this song out by ear so there may be some imperfections.  Also if there’s a song you’d like beginner guitar chords for but either you can’t pick it out yourself or you can’t find accurate chords for it elsewhere online, leave a request in a comment box, and if I’m familiar with the song, I’ll see what I can do for you.  And one more note.  Playing an Am used to be real pill for me because that chord always buzzed for some reason when I tried playing it.  Needless to say, I dreaded Am’s.  If you have the same problem with this chord, try the tip I offer in my Jonny Diaz Song Chords post, and if it doesn’t help, than you can substitute the C’s in parenthesis for the Am’s.  It sounds basically the same in this song and doesn’t detract anything from it.  Enjoy! 

 

Bless the Broken Road

By Rascal Flatts

 

 

Capo: 4 , 5, 6, or 7

 

Verse 1:

G                   Am (C)  

I set out on a narrow way

   D              Em

Many years ago

    G                 Am (C)

Hoping I would find true love

    D                       Em

Along the broken road

 

   Am (C)           D

But I got lost a time or two

Am (C)                                Em

Wiped my brow and kept pushin’ through

G                          Am (C)

I couldn’t see how every sign

     D                        G

Pointed straight to you

 

Chorus:

 

        Am (C)         G

Every long lost dream

                      D         Em

Led me to where you are

                  Am (C)        G

Others who broke my heart

                             Em       D

They were like northern stars

                Am (C)     G

Pointing me on my way

                   D      Em

Into your loving arms

 

                   Am (C)   Em

This much I know is true

           G                     Am (C)

That God blessed the broken road

         D                           G

That led me straight to you

 

Verse 2:

 

                          Am (C)

I think about the years I spent

  D                  Em

Just passin’ through

       G                       D

I’d like to have the time I lost

      Am (C)              Em

And give it back to you

 

     Am (C)                     D

But you just smile and take my hand

Am (C)                               Em

You’ve been there, you understand

G                       Am (C)

It’s all part of a grander plan

   D                    G

That is comin’ true

 

(Chorus)

 

Ending:

 

                      Am (C)   G

Now I’m just rolling home

                D        Em

Into my lover’s arms         

                   Am (C)   Em

This much I know is true

           G                     Am (C)

That God blessed the broken road

         D                           G

That led me straight to you

         Em                    Am (C)

That God blessed the broken road

         D                           G

That led me straight to you
