A5                               D5     A5  
Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich   
A5              E5       A5  
And welcome me back to town  
A5                              D5              A5  
Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlour  
         B5                        E5  
And I'll show you how it all went down  
A5                             A5                     D5  
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels  
      A5                           D5  
And a good saloon in every single town  


    D5          E5                  A5  
And I remember something you once told me  
    D5                 E5               A5  
And I'll be damned if it did not come true  
D5               E5            A5     C#5   F#5               
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down  
    D5                E5                     A5  
And they all lead me straight back home to you  


         C#5            D5       E5        A5   
`Cause I headed West to grow up with the country  
 F#5                  E5                 A5  
Across those prairies with the waves of grain  
      C#5                 D5      E5         A5  
And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue sea  
      D5                      E5           D5           E5       A5  
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennesee  


A5                            D5     A5  
We flew straight across that river bridge,  
A5          E5         A5  
last night half past two  
A5                              D5                A5  
The switchman wave his lantern goodbye and good day  
   B5              E5  
as we went roling through  
A5                         A5                   D5  
Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel  
        A5                       D5  
And now I know just what I have to do  

{SOLO}  
        C#5              D5           E5  A5  
And the man on the radio won't leave me alone  
 F#5                          E5                              A5  
He wants to take my money for something that I've never been shown  
      C#5                 D5      E5         A5  
And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue sea  
      D5                      E5           D5           E5       A5  
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennesee  


A5                            D5         A5  
The news I could bring I met up with the king  
A5              E5           A5  
On his head an amphetamine crown  
A5                          D5              A5  
He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt  
    B5                           E5  
And lighted out for some desert town  
A5                             A5                     D5  
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels  
      A5                           D5  
And a good saloon in every single town  


    D5          E5                  A5  
And I remember something you once told me  
    D5                 E5               A5  
And I'll be damned if it did not come true  
D5               E5            A5     C#5   F#5               
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down  
    D5                E5                     A5  
And they all lead me straight back home to you  


D5               E5            A5     C#5   F#5               
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down  
    D5                E5                     A5  
And they all lead me straight back home to you
