     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
