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


G                             G7                     C 
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels 
      G              G7           C 
And a good saloon in every single town 
                    D                 G 
Oh, and I remember something you once told me 
    C                  D              G 
And I'll be damned if it did not come true 
C       D            G     Bm    Em 
20, 000 roads I went down, down, down 
    C               D                     G 
And they all led me straight back home to you 


                             C      G 
We flew straight across that river bridge 
           D         G 
Last night half past two 
                                    C 
The switchman waved his lantern goodbye 
         G      A               D 
And good day as we went rolling through 
G                         G7                   G 
Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel 
                     D7            G 
And now I know just what I have to do 


         Bm             C        D 
'Cause I headed west to grow up with the country 
Em                   D                   G 
Across those valleys with those waves of grain 
      Bm                  C      D        G 
And I saw my devil and I saw my deep blue sea 
      C                      D           C           D    G 
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee 


                               C          G 
The news I could bring, I met up with the king 
                 D          G 
On his head an amphetamine crown 
                                C         G 
He talked about unbuckling that old Bible Belt 
           A                   D 
And headed out for some desert town 


G                             G7                      C 
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels 
       G             G7           C 
And a good saloon in every single town 
                    D                 G 
Oh, and I remember something you once told me 
    C                 D               G 
And I'll be damned if it did not come true 
C        D           G     Bm    Em 
20, 000 roads I went down, down, down 
    C               D                     G 
And they all led me straight back home to you 


C       D            G     Bm     Em 
20, 000 roads I went down, down, down 
C.               D                    G 
They all led me straight back home to you
