Return of the Grievous Angel by Lucinda Williams
Return of the Grievous Angel
Tuning: E A D G B E
G C G
Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich
G D7 G
And welcome me back to town
G C G
Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlour
A7 D7
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 G7 C
And a good saloon in every single town
C D7 G
And I remember something that you once told me
C D7 G
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
C D G Bm/F# Em
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
C D G
And they all lead me straight back home to you
Bm C D7 G
Cause I headed West to grow up with the country
Em D7 G
Across those prairies with those waves of grain
Bm C D7 G
And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue sea
C D7 C D G
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennesee
G C G
We flew straight across that river bridge
D7 G
Last night half past two
G C G A7
The switchman waved his lantern goodbye and good day as we
D7
Went rolling through
G G7 C
Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel
G D7 G
And now I know just what I have to do
Bm C D G
And the man on the radio won't leave me alone
Em D G
He wants to take my money for something I've never been shown
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
The news I could bring I met up with the king
D7 G
On his head an amphetamine crown
C G
He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt
A7 D7
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/F# 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/F# Em
Twenty thousand roads I went down down down
C D G
And they all lead me straight back home to you
