Return of the Grievous Angel  Gram Parsons

Return of the Grievous Angel
Gram Parsons
Won't you [A]scratch my itch sweet [D]Annie [A]Rich
[A]And welcome m[E]e back to [A]town
[A]Come out on your porch or I'll [D]step into your [A]parlor
And I'll [B]show you how it all went [E]down
[A]Out with the truckers and the [A7]kickers and the cowboy [D]angels
And a [A]good saloon in [A7]every single [D]town
Oh and [D]I remembered [E]something you once [A]told me
And [D]I'll be damned if [E]it did not come [A]true
[D]Twenty thousand [E]roads I went [A]down, [C#m]down, [F#m]down
And [D]they all lead me [E]straight back home to [A]you
`Cause I [C#m]headed West to [D]grow up [E]with the [A]country
A[F#m]cross those prairies [E]with those waves of [A]grain
And I [C#m]saw my devil, and I [D]saw my [E]deep blue [A]sea
And I [D]thought about a calico [E]bonnet from [D]Cheyenne to [E]Tenne[A]ssee
We flew st[A]raight across that [D]river [A]bridge, last night [E]half past [A]two
[A]Switchman wave his lantern good[D]bye and good [A]day as [B]we went rolling [E]through
[A]Billboards and truck stops [A7]pass by the grievous [D]angel
And [A]now I know just [E7]what I have to [A]do
SOLO/INSTRUMENTAL
And the [C#m]man on the rad[D]io won't [E]leave me a[A]lone
He wants to [F#m]take my money for [E]something that I've never been [A]shown
And I [C#m]saw my devil, and I [D]saw my [E]deep blue [A]sea
And I [D]thought about a calico [E]bonnet from [D]Cheyenne to [E]Tenne[A]ssee
The [A]news I could bring I met [D]up with the [A]king
On his head an a[E]mphetamine [A]crown
He [A]talked about unbuckling that [D]old bible [A]belt
And lighted [B]out for some desert [E]town
[A]Out with the truckers and the [A7]kickers and the cowboy [D]angels
And a [A]good saloon in [A7]every single [D]town
Oh but [D]I remembered [E]something you once [A]told me
And [D]I'll be damned if [E]it did not come [A]true
[D]Twenty thousand [E]roads I went [A]down, [C#m]down, [F#m]down
And [D]they all lead me [E]straight back home to [A]you
[D]Twenty thousand [E]roads I went [A]down, [C#m]down, [F#m]down
And [D]they all lead me [E]straight back home to [A]you
