Parsons Gram - Grievous Angel guitar chord

Subject: Re: Grievous Angel -- Gram Parsons

One hack strummer's opinion

Return of the Grievous Angel Gram Parsons (some lyrics

by a New York poet/GP fan??)

[Section 1]

A D A

Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich

A

And welcome me back to town

A D A

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

B E

And I'll show you how it all went down

A D

Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels

A D

And a good saloon in every single town

[Section 2]

D E A

And I remember something you once told me

D E A

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

D E A C#m F#m

Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down

D E A

And they all lead me straight back home to you

[Section 3]

C#m D E

`Cause I headed West to grow up with the country

F#m E A

Across those prairies with the waves of grain

C#m D E A

And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue sea

D E D E A

And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennesee

[Section 1 chords]

We flew straight across that river bridge, last night

half past two

The switchman wave his lantern goodbye and so long as we

went roling through

Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel

And now I know just what I have to do

[Section 3 chords]

And the man on the radio won't leave me alone

He wants to take my money for something that I've never

been shown

And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue see

And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to

Tennesee

[Section 1 chords]

The news I could bring I met up with the king

On his head an amphetamine crown

He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt

And lighted out for some desert town

Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels

And a good saloon in every single town

[Section 2 chords]

And I remember something you once told me

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

Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down

And they all lead me straight back home to you

D E A C#m F#m

Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down

D E A

And they all lead me straight back home to you
