Grievous Angel

A                             
Won't you scratch my itch sweet 
  D     A
Annie Rich
A
And welcome me back to town
A                              D 
Come out on your porch or I'll 
             A
step into your parlour
         B                        
And I'll show you how it all went 
E
down
A                           
Out with the truckers and the 
                         D
kickers and the cowboy angels
      A                           
And a good saloon in every single 
D
town
[Section 2]
    D          E                  
And I remember something you once 
A
told me
    D                 E        
And I'll be damned if it did not 
       A
come true
D               E            A   
Twenty thousand roads I went 
  C#m   F#m
down, down, down
    D                E            
And they all lead me straight back
         A
 home to you

[Section 3]
         C#m            D         
`Cause I headed West to grow up 
       E
with the country
 F#m                  E           
Across those prairies with the 
      A
waves of grain
      C#m                 D      
And I saw my devil, and I saw my 
E         A
deep blue sea
      D                      E    
And I thought about a calico 
       D           E       A
bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennesee

[Section 1 chords]
We flew straight across that river 
bridge, last night
half past two
The switchman wave his lantern 
goodbye and so long as we
went roling through
Billboards and truckstops pass by 
the grievous angel
And now I know just what I have to 
do
[Section 3 chords]
And the man on the radio won't leave
 me alone
He wants to take my money for 
something that I've never
been shown
And I saw my devil, and I saw my 
deep blue see
And I thought about a calico bonnet 
from Cheyenne to
Tennesee

[Section 1 chords]
The news I could bring I met up with
 the king
On his head an amphetamine crown
He talked about unbuckling that old 
bible belt
And lighted out for some desert town
Out with the truckers and the 
kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single 
town
[Section 2 chords]
And I remember something you once 
told me
And I'll be damned if it did not 
come true
Twenty thousand roads I went down, 
down, down
And they all lead me straight back 
home to you

D               E            A   
Twenty thousand roads I went 
  C#m   F#m
down, down, down
    D                E            
And they all lead me straight back
         A
 home to you
