Grievous Angel

Emmylou Harris

 BEB
 Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich
 BF#B
 And welcome me back to town
 BEB
 Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlour
 C#F#
And I'll tell you how it all went down
 BB7E
 Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
 BE
And a good saloon in every single town
 EF#B
And I remember something that you once told me
 EF#B
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
 EF#BD#mG#m
 Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
 EF#B
And they all lead me straight back home to you
 BEB
 We flew straight across that river bridge,
 F#B
Last night half past two
 BEBC#
 The switchman waved his lantern goodbye and good day as we
 F#
Went rolling through
 BB7E
 Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel
 BF#B
 And now   I know just what I have to do
 D#mEF#B
Cause I headed West to grow up with the country
 G#mF#B
 Across those prairies with those waves of grain
 D#mEF#B
And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue sea
 EF#EF#B
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennesee

SOLO

 BEB
 The news I could bring I met up with the king
 F#B
On his head an amphetamine crown
 EB
He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt
 C#F#
And headed out for some desert town
 BB7E
 Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
 BE
And a good saloon in every single town
 EF#B
And I remember something that you once told me
 EF#B
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
 EF#BD#mG#m
 Twenty thousand roads I went down  down  down
 EF#B
And they all lead me straight back home to you
 EF#BD#mG#m
 Twenty thousand roads I went down down down
 EF#B
And they all lead me straight back home to you
