| Won't you scratch my itch sweet | Annie | Rich |
| B | F# | B | |
| And welcome me | back to | town |
| B | E | B | |
| Come out on your porch or I'll | step into your | parlour |
| C# | F# | |
| And I'll | tell you how it all went | down |
| B | B7 | E | |
| Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cow | boy a | ngels |
| B | E | |
| And a | good saloon in every single | town |
| E | F# | B | |
| And | I remember | something that you once | told me |
| E | F# | B | |
| And | I'll be damned if | it did not come | true |
| E | F# | B | D#m | G#m | |
| Twenty thousand | roads I went d | own, d | own, | down |
| E | F# | B | |
| And | they all lead me | straight back home to | you |
| B | E | B | |
| We flew straight across that | river | bridge, |
| F# | B | |
| Last night | half past | two |
| B | E | B | C# | |
| The switchman waved his lantern | goodbye and good | day as | we |
| F# | |
| Went rolling | through |
| B | B7 | E | |
| Billboards and truckstops pass by the | grievous | angel |
| B | F# | B | |
| And now I know | just what I have to | do |
| D#m | E | F# | B | |
| Cause I | headed West to | grow up | with the | country |
| G#m | F# | B | |
| Across those prairies | with those waves of | grain |
| D#m | E | F# | B | |
| And I | saw my devil, and I | saw my | deep blue | sea |
| E | F# | E | F# | B | |
| And I | thought about a calico | bonnet from | Cheyenne to | Tennese | e |
| SOLO |
| B | E | B | |
| The news I could bring I met | up with the | king |
| F# | B | |
| On his head an | amphetamine | crown |
| E | B | |
| He talked about unbuckling that | old bible | belt |
| C# | F# | |
| And | headed out for some desert | town |
| B | B7 | E | |
| Out with the truckers and the kickers and the | cowboy a | ngels |
| B | E | |
| And a | good saloon in every single | town |
| E | F# | B | |
| And | I remember | something that you once | told me |
| E | F# | B | |
| And | I'll be damned if | it did not come | true |
| E | F# | B | D#m | G#m | |
| Twenty thousand | roads I went | down | down | down |
| E | F# | B | |
| And | they all lead me | straight back home to | you |
| E | F# | B | D#m | G#m | |
| Twenty thousand | roads I went | down | down | down |
| E | F# | B | |
| And | they all lead me | straight back home to | you |
