Return Of The Grievous Angel

• A

A                               D     A   
Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich    
A              E       A   
And welcome me back to town   
A                              D              A   
Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlour   
         B                        E   
And I'll show you how it all went down   
A                             A7                     D   
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels   
      A                           D   
And a good saloon in every single town   


    D          E                  A   
And I remember something you once told me   
    D                 E               A   
And I'll be damned if it did not come true   
D               E            A     C#m   F#m                
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down   
    D                E                     A   
And they all lead me straight back home to you   


         C#m            D       E        A    
`Cause I headed West to grow up with the country   
 F#m                  E                 A   
Across those prairies with the waves of grain   
      C#m                 D      E         A   
And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue sea   
      D                      E           D           E       A   
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennesee   


A                            D     A   
We flew straight across that river bridge,   
A          E         A   
last night half past two   
A                              D                A   
The switchman wave his lantern goodbye and good day   
   B              E   
as we went roling through   
A                         A7                   D   
Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel   
        A           E              A   
And now I know just what I have to do   

{SOLO}   

        C#m              D           E  A   
And the man on the radio won't leave me alone   
 F#m                          E                              A   
He wants to take my money for something that I've never been shown   
      C#m                 D      E         A   
And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue sea   
      D                      E           D           E       A   
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennesee   


A                            D         A   
The news I could bring I met up with the king   
A              E           A   
On his head an amphetamine crown   
A                          D              A   
He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt   
    B                           E   
And lighted out for some desert town   
A                             A7                     D   
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels   
      A                           D   
And a good saloon in every single town   


    D          E                  A   
And I remember something you once told me   
    D                 E               A   
And I'll be damned if it did not come true   
D               E            A     C#m   F#m                
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down   
    D                E                     A   
And they all lead me straight back home to you   


D               E            A     C#m   F#m                
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down   
    D                E                     A   
And they all lead me straight back home to you
