Grievous Angel Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

AWon't you scratch my itch sweet DAnnie ARich

AAnd welcome me back to town

ACome out on your porch or I'll Dstep into your Aparlour

 And I'll Bshow you how it all went Edown

AOut with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy Dangels

 And a Agood saloon in every single Dtown

[Section 2]

 And DI remember Esomething you once Atold me

 And DI'll be damned if Eit did not come Atrue

DTwenty thousand Eroads I went Adown, C♯mdown, F♯mdown

 And Dthey all lead me Estraight back home to Ayou

[Section 3]

 `Cause I C♯mheaded West to Dgrow up with the Ecountry

 AF♯mcross those prairies Ewith the waves of Agrain

 And I C♯msaw my devil, and I Dsaw my Edeep blue Asea

 And I Dthought about a calico Ebonnet from DCheyenne to ETenneseeA

[Section 1 chords]

We flew straight across that river bridge, last night

half past two

The switchman wave his lantern goodbye and so long as we

went roling through

Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel

And now I know just what I have to do

[Section 3 chords]

And the man on the radio won't leave me alone

He wants to take my money for something that I've never

been shown

And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue see

And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to

Tennesee

[Section 1 chords]

The news I could bring I met up with the king

On his head an amphetamine crown

He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt

And lighted out for some desert town

Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels

And a good saloon in every single town

[Section 2 chords]

And I remember something you once told me

And I'll be damned if it did not come true

Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down

And they all lead me straight back home to you

DTwenty thousand Eroads I went Adown, C♯mdown, F♯mdown

 And Dthey all lead me Estraight back home to Ayou
