	C	2	3	4
	A thumb	goes up,	a car g	oes by

It's nearly 1 AM and here am I

	F	G7	C
Hitchin' a	ride,	hitchin' a	ride

	F	G7	C
Gotta get me	home	by the mornin'	light

Verse 2:

I've got no fare to ride a train

I'm nearly drownin' in the pourin' rain

Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride

Gotta get me home to my baby's side

CHORUS:

	F	G7	C
	Ride, ride,	ride, hitchin' a	ride

	F	G7	C
	Ride, ride,	ride, hitchin' a	ride

Verse 3:

Long-distance call I got today

She sounded lonely, so I'm on my way

Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride

Gotta get me home to keep her satisfied

(instrumental: 2 measures of drum solo, 4 of C, 8 of C7)

(chorus)

Verse 4:

A thumb goes up, a car goes by

Won't somebody stop and help a guy

Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride

Been away too long from my baby's side

(chorus)

(repeat and fade):

	C7
	Ride, ride

NOTE: The above tab approximates the recording. However, I like to play it

differently: I substitute the middle instrumental for one patterned after a

verse minus its last line. Then, instead of the ending coda, I repeat the

chorus and fade.
