Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich
GG Piano Chord 
              DD Piano Chord 
       GG Piano Chord 

And welcome me back to town
GG Piano Chord 
                              CC Piano Chord 
              GG Piano Chord 

Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlour
AA Piano Chord 
                        DD Piano Chord 

And I'll tell you how it all went down
GG Piano Chord 
                                                G7G7 Piano Chord 
   CC Piano Chord 

Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
GG Piano Chord 
                           CC Piano Chord 

And a good saloon in every single town
CC Piano Chord 
          DD Piano Chord 
                       GG Piano Chord 

And I remember something that you once told me
CC Piano Chord 
                 DD Piano Chord 
               GG Piano Chord 

And I'll be damned if it did not come true
CC Piano Chord 
               DD Piano Chord 
            GG Piano Chord 
     BmBm Piano Chord 
    EmEm Piano Chord 

Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
CC Piano Chord 
                DD Piano Chord 
                     GG Piano Chord 

And they all lead me straight back home to you
BmBm Piano Chord 
             CC Piano Chord 
        DD Piano Chord 
       GG Piano Chord 

Cause I headed West to grow up with the country
EmEm Piano Chord 
                    DD Piano Chord 
                   GG Piano Chord 

Across those prairies with those waves of grain
BmBm Piano Chord 
                  CC Piano Chord 
      DD Piano Chord 
         GG Piano Chord 

And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue sea
CC Piano Chord 
                      DD Piano Chord 
           CC Piano Chord 
           DD Piano Chord 
      GG Piano Chord 

And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennesee
GG Piano Chord 
                            CC Piano Chord 
     GG Piano Chord 

We flew straight across that river bridge,
DD Piano Chord 
         GG Piano Chord 

Last night half past two
GG Piano Chord 
                               CC Piano Chord 
                GG Piano Chord 
      AA Piano Chord 

The switchman waved his lantern goodbye and good day as we
DD Piano Chord 

Went rolling through
GG Piano Chord 
                                     G7G7 Piano Chord 
       CC Piano Chord 

Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel
GG Piano Chord 
                   DD Piano Chord 
              GG Piano Chord 

And     I know just what I have to do

SOLO

BmBm Piano Chord 
               CC Piano Chord 
     DD Piano Chord 
         GG Piano Chord 

And the man on the radio won't leave me alone
EmEm Piano Chord 
                DD Piano Chord 

He wants to take my money for something that
GG Piano Chord 

I've never been shown
BmBm Piano Chord 
                CC Piano Chord 
        DD Piano Chord 
         GG Piano Chord 

And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue see

           CC Piano Chord 
           DD Piano Chord

GG Piano Chord 
                            CC Piano Chord 
           GG Piano Chord 

The news I could bring I met up with the king
DD Piano Chord 
           GG Piano Chord 

On his head an amphetamine crown
CC Piano Chord 
         GG Piano Chord 

He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt
A7A7 Piano Chord 
                         D
And headed out for some desert town
GG Piano Chord 
                                             G7G7 Piano Chord 
      CC Piano Chord 

Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
GG Piano Chord 
                           CC Piano Chord 

And a good saloon in every single town
CC Piano Chord 
          DD Piano Chord 
                       GG Piano Chord 

And I remember something that you once told me
CC Piano Chord 
                 DD Piano Chord 
               GG Piano Chord 

And I'll be damned if it did not come true
CC Piano Chord 
               DD Piano Chord 
            GG Piano Chord 
     BmBm Piano Chord 
    EmEm Piano Chord 

Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
CC Piano Chord 
                DD Piano Chord 
                     GG Piano Chord 

And they all lead me straight back home to you

               DD Piano Chord 
            GG Piano Chord 
     BmBm Piano Chord
