B E B
Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich
B F# B
And welcome me back to town
B E B
Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlour
C# F#
And I'll tell you how it all went down
B B7 E
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
B E
And a good saloon in every single town
E F# B
And I remember something that you once told me
E F# B
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
E F# B D#m G#m
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
E F# B
And they all lead me straight back home to you
B E B
We flew straight across that river bridge,
F# B
Last night half past two
B E B C#
The switchman waved his lantern goodbye and good day as we
F#
Went rolling through
B B7 E
Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel
B F# B
And now I know just what I have to do
D#m E F# B
Cause I headed West to grow up with the country
G#m F# B
Across those prairies with those waves of grain
D#m E F# B
And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue sea
E F# E F# B
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennesee
SOLO
B E B
The news I could bring I met up with the king
F# B
On his head an amphetamine crown
E B
He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt
C# F#
And headed out for some desert town
B B7 E
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
B E
And a good saloon in every single town
E F# B
And I remember something that you once told me
E F# B
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
E F# B D#m G#m
Twenty thousand roads I went down down down
E F# B
And they all lead me straight back home to you
E F# B D#m G#m
Twenty thousand roads I went down down down
E F# B
And they all lead me straight back home to you
