          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.

    G                A                     D
And they all lead me straight back home to you.
