Lucy Kaplansky  Return of the Grievous Angel  written by Gram Parsons

G                               C     G
Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich
G              D       G
And welcome me back to town
G                              C              G
Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlour
         A                        D
And I'll tell you how it all went down
G                                                G7   C
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
      G                           C
And a good saloon in every single town
    C          D                       G
And I remember something that you once told me
    C                 D               G
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
C               D            G     Bm    Em
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
    C                D                     G
And they all lead me straight back home to you
        Bm             C        D       G
Cause I headed West to grow up with the country
Em                    D                   G
Across those prairies with those waves of grain
      Bm                  C      D         G
And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue sea
      C                      D           C           D      G
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennesee
G                            C     G
We flew straight across that river bridge,
           D         G
Last night half past two
G                               C                G      A
The switchman waved his lantern goodbye and good day as we
             D
Went rolling through
G                                     G7       C
Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel
G                   D              G
And     I know just what I have to do

SOLO

        Bm               C     D         G
And the man on the radio won't leave me alone
            Em                D
He wants to take my money for something that
                G
I've never been shown
      Bm                C        D         G
And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue see
       C                     D           C           D     G
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennesee
G                            C           G
The news I could bring I met up with the king
               D           G
On his head an amphetamine crown
                                C         G
He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt
    A7                         D
And headed out for some desert town
G                                             G7      C
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
      G                           C
And a good saloon in every single town
    C          D                       G
And I remember something that you once told me
    C                 D               G
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
C               D            G     Bm    Em
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
    C                D                     G
And they all lead me straight back home to you
C               D            G     Bm    Em
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
    C                D                     G
And they all lead me straight back home to you
