Return of the Grievous Angel Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Won't you scratch my
itch sweet [C]Annie [G]Rich
And welcome me [D]back to [G]town
Come out on your porch or I'll step
[C]into your parlou[G]r
And I'll [A]show you how it all went [D]down
[G]Out with the truckers and the kickers
and the cowboy [C]angels
And a [G]good saloon in every single town
[C]

[Verse 2]
Oh and I remember something
[D]you once tol[G]d me
And [C]I'll be damned if [D]it did
not come [G]true
[C]Twenty thousand [D]roads I went [G]down,
[D]down, [F#dim]down[Em]
[G]And the[C]y all lead me straight
[D]back home to you[G]

[Verse 3]
'Cause I [Bm]headed West [C]to grow
up [D]with [G]the country
[D]Acr[G]oss[Em] those prairies with[D]
those waves [G]of grain
And [Bm]I saw my devil,
and I [C]saw my [D]deep blue [G]sea
And I [C]thought about a calico [D]bonnet
from [C]Cheyenne [D]to Tenness[G]ee

[Verse 4]
[G]We flew straight across that [C]river [G]bridge,
last night [D]half past [G]two
The switch- man wave his lantern good[C]bye
and good [G]day as [A]we went roling [D]through
[G]Billboards and truck stops pass
by the grievous [C]an gel
And [G]now I know just [D]what I have to [G]do (pick for [Em]me[G][C]
[G][D][G][C][G][A][D][G]
[C]Jam[G]es)[D][G][Em]

[Verse 5]
[Bm]And the man on the radio [C]won't
leave [D]me [G]alone[D][G]
He wants to [Em]take my money for something
[D]that I've never been sho[G]wn
And [Bm]I saw my devil,
and [C]I saw my deep [D]blue [G]see
And [C]I thought about a calico [D]bonnet
from [C]Cheyenne [D]to Tennessee
[G]

[Verse 6]
The news I could bring I
met [C]up with [G]the king
On his head an [D]amphetamine [G]crown
He talked about unbuckling
that [C]old bible belt
[G]And lighted out[A] for some desert tow[D]n
[G]Out with the truckers and the kickers
and the cowboy [C]an gels
And a [G]good saloon in every single town
[C]

[Verse 7]
Oh but I remember something
[D]you once tol[G]d me[D][G]
And [C]I'll be damned if [D]it
did not come [G]true
[C]Twenty thousand [D]roads I went [G]down,
[D]down, [Em]down
[G]And the[C]y all lead me straight
[D]back home to [G]you
[C]Twenty thousand [D]roads I went [G]down,
[D]down, [Em]down
And [C]they all lead me straight
[D]back home to [G]you
