Start Jamming...
Won't you scratch my itch, sweet [Eb] Annie [Bb] Ridge, and welcome me [F] back to [Bb] town.
[G] [Bb] Come out on your porch, or [Eb] step into [Bb] your parlor, and [C] I'll tell you how it all went [F]
down.
[Bb] Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy [Eb] angels,
and a good salute in every single [Eb] town.
Oh, and I remembered [F]
something you [Bb] once told me,
[Eb] and I'd be damned [F] if it did not come [Bb] true.
[Eb] Twenty thousand [F]
roads I [Bb] went down, [Gm] down, down,
[Eb] and they all led [F] me straight back [Bb] home to you.
[D] Those I headed west [Eb] to grow up with [F] the country,
[Bb]
[Gm] across those [F] prairies with those [Bb] waves of grain.
[Dm] And I saw my devil, [Ab] and I [Eb] saw my [F] deep blue [Bb] sea,
[Eb] and I thought about a calico [F] bonnet [Eb] from Cheyenne [F] to [Bb] Tennessee.
We flew straight across that [Eb] river [Bb] bridge last night at Fairs 2.
Switchman wages landed by the bay as we [C] went [F] rolling through.
[Bb]
Billboards and truck stops passed by the grievous [Eb] angel.
Now I know [F] just what I have [Bb] to do.
Pickin' for me Jamie.

[Eb] [C]

[Dm] [Bb]
[F] [Bb]
[Dm] And the man on the [Eb] radio won't leave me alone.
He [Gm] wants to take my money [F] for something that I've never [Bb] been shown.
And [Dm] I saw my [Dm] devil, and [Eb] I saw my deep blue [Bb] sea,
[Eb] and I thought about a [F] calico bonnet [Eb] from Cheyenne to [Bb] Tennessee.
[Bb]
[G] [Bb] The news I could bring, I [Eb] met up with the king on his head in an embedded [Bb] mean crown.
Talked about unbuckin' [Eb] that old Bible building, [C] lighted out for some desert [F]
town.
[Bb] Out for the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy [Eb] angels,
[Bb] and a good saloon in every single [Eb] town.
[C]
Oh, [Eb] but I remembered [F]
something you once [Bb] told me,
[Eb] that I'd be damned [F] if it did not [Bb] come true.
[Eb] Twenty thousand [F]
roads I [Bb] went down, [Gm] down, down,
[Eb] and they all led me [F] straight back home [Bb] to you.
[Ab]
[Eb] Twenty thousand [F]
roads [Bb] I [F] went down, down, [Gm]
down,
[Eb] and they all led me [F] straight back home [Bb] to you.
