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
