G C G

Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich

G D7 G

And welcome me back to town

G C G

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

A7 D7

And I'll tell you how it all went down

G G7 C

Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels

G G7 C

And a good saloon in every single town

C D7 G

And I remember something that you once told me

C D7 G

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

C D G Bm/F# Em

Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down

C D G

And they all lead me straight back home to you

Bm C D7 G

Cause I headed West to grow up with the country

Em D7 G

Across those prairies with those waves of grain

Bm C D7 G

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

C D7 C D G

And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennesee

G C G

We flew straight across that river bridge

D7 G

Last night half past two

G C G A7

The switchman waved his lantern goodbye and good day as we

D7

Went rolling through

G G7 C

Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel

G D7 G

And now I know just what I have to do

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 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 Tennesee

G C G

The news I could bring I met up with the king

D7 G

On his head an amphetamine crown

C G

He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt

A7 D7

And headed 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 that you once told me

C D G

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

C D G Bm/F# 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/F# Em

Twenty thousand roads I went down down down

C D G

And they all lead me straight back home to you
