      G                               C     G
Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich

G              D       G
And welcome me back to town

G                              C              G
Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlour

         A                        D
And I'll show you how it all went down

G                             G7                     C
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels

      G                           C
And a good saloon in every single town



       C          D                  G
Oh and I remember something you once told me

    C                 D               G
And I'll be damned if it did not come true

C               D            G     Bm   Em
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down

    C                D                     G
And they all lead me straight back home to you


         Bm            C       D        G
'Cause I headed West to grow up with the country

 Em                  D                 G
Across those prairies with the waves of grain

      Bm                 C      D         G
And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue sea

      C                      D           C           D       G
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee




G                            C     G
We flew straight across that river bridge,
G          D         G
last night half past two
G                              C                G
The switchman wave his lantern goodbye and good day
   A              D
as we went rolling through
G                         G7                   C
Billboards and truck stops pass by the grievous angel
        G           D              G
And now I know just what I have to do



SOLO - G C G   G D G   G C G A D   G G7 C  G D G




        Bm              C           D  G
And the man on the radio won't leave me alone

 Em                          D                              G
He wants to take my money for something that I've never been shown

      Bm                 C      D         G
And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue sea

      C                      D           C           D       G
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee


G                            C         G
The news I could bring I met up with the king

G              D           G
On his head an amphetamine crown

G                          C              G
He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt

    A                           D
And lighted out for some desert town

G                             G7                     C
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels

      G                           C
And a good saloon in every single town


    C          D                  G
And I remember something you once told me

    C                 D               G
And I'll be damned if it did not come true

C               D            G     Bm   Em
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down

    C                D                     G
And they all lead me straight back home to you


C               D            G     Bm   Em
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down

    C                D                     G
And they all lead me straight back home to you
