D G D
Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich
D A D
And welcome me back to town
D G D
Come out on your porch (or I'll) step into your parlor
E A
And (I'll) tell you how it all went down.
D Dsus4 G
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
D Dsus4 G
And a good saloon in every single town
G A D
Oh, and I remember something you once told me
G A D
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
G A D F#m D
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
G A D
And they all lead me straight back home to you.
F#m G A D
So I headed west to grow up with the country
F#m G A D
Out across those praries with those waves of grain
F#m G A D
And I saw my devil and I saw my deep blue sea
G A G A D
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee.
D G D
Hey, we flew straight across that river bridge
D A D
Last night at half past two
D G D
The switchman waved his lantern goodbye and good luck
E A
As we went rolling through.
D Dsus4 G
Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel
D A D
And now I know just what I have to do
F#m G A D
The man on the radio won't leave me alone
F#m G A D
He wants to take my money for something that I've never been shown
F#m G A D
And I saw my devil and I saw my deep blue sea
G A G A D
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee.

D G D
The news I could bring I met up with the king
D A D
On his head an amphetamine crown
D G D
He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt
E A
And lit out for some desert town.
D Dsus4 G
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
D Dsus4 G
And a good saloon in every single town
G A D
Oh, and I remember something you once told me
G A D
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
G A D F#m D
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
G A D
And they all lead me straight back home to you.
G A D F#m D
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
G A D
And they all lead me straight back home to you.
