   G+G                C majorC   G+G
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
