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

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
