     D MajorD           G+G   D MajorD
Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich
  D MajorD     A augmentedA    D MajorD
And welcome me back to town
D MajorD                G+G       D MajorD
Come out on your porch (or I'll) step into your parlor
      E MajorE            A augmentedA
And (I'll) tell you how it all went down.

D MajorD               Dsus4Dsus4         G+G
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
   D MajorD       Dsus4Dsus4    G+G
And a good saloon in every single town
    G+G     A augmentedA         D MajorD
Oh, and I remember something you once told me
  G+G         A augmentedA        D MajorD
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
G+G        A augmentedA      D MajorD   F# minorF#m  D MajorD
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
  G+G        A augmentedA           D MajorD
And they all lead me straight back home to you.


   F# minorF#m      G+G    A augmentedA    D MajorD
So I headed west to grow up with the country
   F# minorF#m        G+G     A augmentedA    D MajorD
Out across those praries with those waves of grain
   F# minorF#m        G+G   A augmentedA     D MajorD
And I saw my devil and I saw my deep blue sea
   G+G           A augmentedA      G+G      A augmentedA     D MajorD
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee.


   D MajorD              G+G   D MajorD
Hey, we flew straight across that river bridge
D MajorD       A augmentedA     D MajorD
Last night at half past two
D MajorD                G+G        D MajorD
The switchman waved his lantern goodbye and good luck
  E MajorE        A augmentedA
As we went rolling through.

D MajorD             Dsus4Dsus4        G+G
Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel
  D MajorD        A augmentedA         D MajorD
And now I know just what I have to do
  F# minorF#m       G+G    A augmentedA    D MajorD
The man on the radio won't leave me alone
  F# minorF#m            G+G          A augmentedA     D MajorD
He wants to take my money for something that I've never been shown
   F# minorF#m        G+G   A augmentedA     D MajorD
And I saw my devil and I saw my deep blue sea
   G+G           A augmentedA      G+G      A augmentedA     D MajorD
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee.

The news I could bring I met up with the king
    D MajorD     A augmentedA    D MajorD
On his head an amphetamine crown
  D MajorD              G+G     D MajorD
He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt
  E MajorE            A augmentedA
And lit out for some desert town.


D MajorD               Dsus4Dsus4         G+G
