Hitch Hikin'  

Bruce Springsteen

 

Each chord gets two beats unless otherwise noted.

 

G           Em7       G   Em7

Thumb stuck out as I go

G          Em7             G    Em7

I'm just travelin' up the road

Dsus4 (1)                    Cadd9 (1)

Maps don't do much for me, friend

   Dsus4 (1)                  Cadd9 (1)

I follow the weather and the wind

 

G          Em7            G     Em7

I'm hitch hikin' all day long

     G          Em7          G     Em7

Got what I can carry and my song

      Dsus4 (1)                  Cadd9 (1)

I'm a rolling stone just rolling on

          Dsus4 (1)                    Cadd9 (1)

Catch me now 'cause tomorrow, I'll be gone

 

G      Em7            G    Em7

Family man gives me a ride

        G        Em7          G    Em7

Got his pregnant Sally at his side

      Dsus4 (1)                  Cadd9 (1)

Yes indeed, sir, children are a gift

Dsus4 (1)                  Cadd9 (1)

Thank you kindly for the lift

 

Chorus:

G         Em7            G     Em7

I'm hitch hikin' all day long

 

/ G - Em7 - /

 

G        Em7              G    Em7

Trucker gears his engine down

         G        Em7                  G     Em7

Says, "Climb on up, son, I'm highway-bound"

Dsus4 (1)                  Cadd9 (1)

Dashboard picture of a pretty girl

     Dsus4 (1)                 Cadd9 (1)

I'm ridin' high on top of the world

 

Chorus:

G         Em7            G     Em7

I'm hitch hikin' all day long

 

/ G - Em7 - /

 

G              Em7         G  Em7

Gearhead in a souped-up '72

          G                Em7                G   Em7

Wants to show a kid just what this thing'll do

           Dsus4 (1)                   Cadd9 (1)

Telephone poles and trees go whizzin' by

Dsus4                          Cadd9

Thank you, pal, she sure can fly

 

Outro Chorus:

G         Em7            G     Em7

I'm hitch hikin' all day long

G         Em7            G     Em7

I'm hitch hikin' all day long

G         Em7            G     Em7

I'm hitch hikin' all day long
