          D                    
Won't you scratch my itch sweet 
 G     D
Annie Rich
    D          A       D
And welcome me back to town
D                                
Come out on your porch (or I'll) 
G              D
step into your parlor
           E                       
And (I'll) tell you how it all went
 A
 down.


D                             
Out with the truckers and the 
Dsus4                  G
kickers and the cowboy angels
      D              Dsus4        
And a good saloon in every single 
G
town
        G          A           
Oh, and I remember something you 
       D
once told me
    G                 A        
And I'll be damned if it did not 
       D
come true
G               A            D   
Twenty thousand roads I went 
  F#m   D
down, down, down
    G                A            
And they all lead me straight back
         D
 home to you.



     F#m            G       A    
So I headed west to grow up with 
    D
the country
      F#m                G        
Out across those praries with 
  A        D
those waves of grain
Continues after the ad
      F#m                G      A
And I saw my devil and I saw my 
         D
deep blue sea
      G                      A    
And I thought about a calico 
       G           A          D
bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee.


     D                            
Hey, we flew straight across that 
G     D
river bridge
D             A         D
Last night at half past two
D                             
The switchman waved his lantern 
  G                D
goodbye and good luck
   E               A
As we went rolling through.


D                         Dsus4  
Billboards and truckstops pass by
              G
 the grievous angel
    D               A             
And now I know just what I have to
     D
 do
    F#m              G       A   
The man on the radio won't leave 
    D
me alone
   F#m                       
He wants to take my money for 
 G                   A          D
something that I've never been shown
      F#m                G      A
And I saw my devil and I saw my 
         D
deep blue sea
      G                      A    
And I thought about a calico 
       G           A          D
bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee.

    D                        G    
The news I could bring I met up 
       D
with the king
       D          A        D
On his head an amphetamine crown
   D                            G 
He talked about unbuckling that 
        D
old bible belt
    E                       A
And lit out for some desert town.
