      G                         C     G
Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich  
 
G              D       G
And welcome me back to town  
 
G                              C              G
Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlour  
 
         A                        D
And I'll show you how it all went down   
 
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
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
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down   
 
    C                D                     G
And they all lead me straight back home to you   
 
 
         Bm            C       D        G
`Cause I headed West to grow up with the country 
 
 Em                  D                 G
Across those prairies with the 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   
 
 
 
 
G                            C     G
We flew straight across that river bridge,   
G          D         G
last night half past two   
G                              C                G
The switchman wave his lantern goodbye and good day   
   A              D
as we went rolling through   
G                         G7                   C
Billboards and truck stops pass by the grievous angel   
        G           D              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 that 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 Tennessee   
 
 
G                            C         G
The news I could bring I met up with the king   
 
G              D           G
On his head an amphetamine crown   
 
G                          C              G
He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt   
 
    A                           D
And lighted 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 you once told me   
 
    C                 D               G
And I'll be damned if it did not come true  
 
C               D            G     Bm   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   Em
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down  
 
    C                D                     G
And they all lead me straight back home to you
