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

               D       G
And welcome me back to town

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

          A                       D
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

                    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
20, 000 roads I went down, down, down

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

                             C      G
We flew straight across that river bridge

           D         G
Last night half past two

                                    C
The switchman waved his lantern goodbye

         G      A               D
And good day as we went rolling through

G                         G7                   G
Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel

                     D7            G
And now I know just what I have to do

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

Em                   D                   G
Across those valleys with those 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

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

                 D          G
On his head an amphetamine crown

                                C         G
He talked about unbuckling that old Bible Belt

           A                   D
And headed out for some desert town

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

                    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
20, 000 roads I went down, down, down

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

C       D            G     Bm     Em
20, 000 roads I went down, down, down

C.               D                    G
They all led me straight back home to you
