Hitchhiker Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 WEmhen I was a hitchhiker on the road I had to count on you

D

 BEmut you needed me to ease the load and for conversation too

 ODr did you just ride onC through Em

You didn't see me in Toronto when I first tried out some hash

Smoked some then and I'll do it again if I only had some cash

Only had some cash

Then I tried amphetamines and my head was in a glass

Taped underneath the speedometer wires of my '48 Buick's dash

But I knew that wouldn't last

CHORUS #1:

 TChen came CalifGornia, where I fiCrst saw open watGer

 ICn the land of Em7opportunity, DI knew I was gettingEm7 hotter

 ID knew I was getting Chotter

But the neon lights and the endless nights

The neon lights and the endless nights

The neon lights and the endless nights

The neon lights and the endless nights

They took me by surprise

The doctor gave me valium but I still couldn't close my eyes

I still couldn't close my eyes

CHORUS #2:

Then came paranoia and it ran away with me

I couldn't sign my autograph or appear on TV

Or see or be seen, see or be seen

Or see or be seen

 LGiving in the country sounded good to me

 SDmoking grass Emwhile the summer lasts in the real organic scene

 WDhere everythingC was green everything wAmas greEmen

Then we had a kid and we split apart I was living on the road

A little cocaine went a long long way to ease that different load

But my head did explode, my head did explode

CHORUS #3:

I wish I was an Aztec or a runner in Peru

I would build such beautiful buildings yo house the chosen few

Like an Inca from Peru

When I was a hitchhiker on the road I had to count on you

But you needed me to ease the load and for conversation too

Or did you just drive on through, did you just drive on through

Did you just drive on through
