Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich
G+G D MajorD G+G
And welcome me back to town
G+G C majorC G+G
Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlour
A augmentedA D MajorD
And I'll show you how it all went down
G+G G7G7 C majorC
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
G+G C majorC
And a good saloon in every single town
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Oh and I remember something you once told me
C majorC D MajorD G+G
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
C majorC D MajorD G+G B minorBm E minorEm
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
C majorC D MajorD G+G
And they all lead me straight back home to you
B minorBm C majorC D MajorD G+G
'Cause I headed West to grow up with the country
E minorEm D MajorD G+G
Across those prairies with the waves of grain
B minorBm C majorC D MajorD G+G
And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue sea
C majorC D MajorD C majorC D MajorD G+G
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee
G+G C majorC G+G
We flew straight across that river bridge,
G+G D MajorD G+G
last night half past two
G+G C majorC G+G
The switchman wave his lantern goodbye and good day
A augmentedA D MajorD
as we went rolling through
G+G G7G7 C majorC
Billboards and truck stops pass by the grievous angel
G+G D MajorD G+G
And now I know just what I have to do
SOLO - G+G C majorC G+G G+G D MajorD G+G G+G C majorC G+G A augmentedA D MajorD G+G G7G7 C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
B minorBm C majorC D MajorD G+G
And the man on the radio won't leave me alone
E minorEm D MajorD G+G
He wants to take my money for something that I've never been shown
B minorBm C majorC D MajorD G+G
And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue sea
C majorC D MajorD C majorC D MajorD G+G
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee
G+G C majorC G+G
The news I could bring I met up with the king
G+G D MajorD G+G
On his head an amphetamine crown
G+G C majorC G+G
He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt
A augmentedA D MajorD
And lighted out for some desert town
G+G G7G7 C majorC
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
G+G C majorC
And a good saloon in every single town
C majorC D MajorD G+G
And I remember something you once told me
C majorC D MajorD G+G
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
C majorC D MajorD G+G B minorBm E minorEm
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
C majorC D MajorD G+G
And they all lead me straight back home to you
C majorC D MajorD G+G B minorBm E minorEm
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
C majorC D MajorD G+G
And they all lead me straight back home to you
