Hitchhker

Written by Neil Young

	  		

Em 
When I was a hitchhiker on the road 

I had to count on you 
                      G 
But you needed me to ease the load 
         D           Em 
And for conversation too 
D                       C        Em 
Or did you just drive on through 

Em 
You didn't see me in Toronto 

When I first tried out some hash 
                           G 
Smoked some then and I'll do it again 
       D               Em 
But I didn't have the cash 
   D               C   Em 
I didn't have the cash 

Em 
Then I tried amphetamines 

And my head was in a glass 
                         G 
Taped underneath the speedometer wires 
       D          Em 
Of my '48 Buick's dash 
       D                  C   Em 
But I knew that wouldn't last 

C              G 
Then came California 
      C                 G 
Where I first saw open water 
        C            G 
In the land of opportunity 
   D                 Em 
I knew I was getting hotter 
   D                 C      Em 
I knew I was getting hotter 

Em 
But the neon lights 

And the endless nights 

They took me by surprise 
                    G 
The doctor gave me valium 
       D                      Em 
But I still couldn't close my eyes 
   D                      C    Em 
I still couldn't close my eyes 

C              G 
Then came paranoia 
        C            G 
And it ran away with me 
C                    G 
I couldn't sign my autograph 
     D        Em 
Or appear on TV 
    D         C   Em 
Or see or be seen 

G                     C 
Living in the country 
G                  C 
Sounded good to me 
G 
Smoking grass while the summer lasts 
        Em 
In the real organic sea 
      D               Em 
Where everything was green 

Everything was green 

Em 
Then we had a kid and we split apart 

I was living on the road 
                        G 
A little cocaine went a long long way 
   D                   Em 
To ease that different load 
    D             C     Em  
But my head did explode 

My head did explode 

C                G 
I wish I was an Aztec 
      C           G 
Or a runner in Peru 
         C                    G 
I would build such beautiful buildings 
    D               Em 
To house the chosen few 
        D            C  Em 
Like an Inca from Peru 

Em 
Now many years have come and gone 

Like friends and enemies 
                     G 
I tried to leave my past behind 
          D               Em 
But it's catching up with me 
      D               C  Em 
It's catching up with me 

Em 
I don't know how I'm standing here 

Living my life 
                      G 
I'm thankful for my children 
        D        Em 
And my faithful wife
