Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich
A E A
And welcome me back to town
A D A
Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlour
B E
And I'll show you how it all went down
A A7 D
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
A D
And a good saloon in every single town
D E A
And I remember something you once told me
D E A
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
D E A C#m F#m
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
D E A
And they all lead me straight back home to you
C#m D E A
`Cause I headed West to grow up with the country
F#m E A
Across those prairies with the waves of grain
C#m D E A
And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue sea
D E D E A
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennesee
A D A
We flew straight across that river bridge,
A E A
last night half past two
A D A
The switchman wave his lantern goodbye and good day
B E
as we went roling through
A A7 D
Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel
A D
And now I know just what I have to do
{SOLO}
C#m D E A
And the man on the radio won't leave me alone
F#m E A
He wants to take my money for something that I've never been shown
C#m D E A
And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue sea
D E D E A
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennesee
A D A
The news I could bring I met up with the king
A E A
On his head an amphetamine crown
A D A
He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt
B E
And lighted out for some desert town
A A7 D
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
A D
And a good saloon in every single town
D E A
And I remember something you once told me
D E A
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
D E A C#m F#m
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
D E A
And they all lead me straight back home to you
D E A C#m F#m
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
D E A
And they all lead me straight back home to you
