B                               E     B
Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich

B              F#      B
And welcome me back to town

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

         C#                       F#
And I'll tell you how it all went down

B                                                B7   E
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels

      B                           E
And a good saloon in every single town

    E          F#                      B
And I remember something that you once told me

    E                 F#              B
And I'll be damned if it did not come true

E               F#            B     D#m  G#m
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down

    E                F#                    B
And they all lead me straight back home to you

B                            E     B
We flew straight across that river bridge,

           F#        B
Last night half past two

B                               E                B      C#
The switchman waved his lantern goodbye and good day as we

             F#
Went rolling through

B                                     B7       E
Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel

B                F#                  B
And now   I know just what I have to do

        D#m            E       F#       B
Cause I headed West to grow up with the country

G#m                   F#                  B
Across those prairies with those waves of grain

      D#m                 E      F#        B
And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue sea

      E                      F#          E           F#     B
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennesee
SOLO
B                            E           B
The news I could bring I met up with the king

               F#          B
On his head an amphetamine crown

                                E         B
He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt

    C#                         F#
And headed out for some desert town

B                                             B7      E
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels

      B                           E
And a good saloon in every single town

    E          F#                      B
And I remember something that you once told me

    E                 F#              B
And I'll be damned if it did not come true

E               F#           B     D#m   G#m
Twenty thousand roads I went down  down  down

    E                F#                    B
And they all lead me straight back home to you

E               F#           B    D#m  G#m
Twenty thousand roads I went down down down

    E                F#                    B
And they all lead me straight back home to you
