Fogerty I got the version from the "Chronicle", but there's also a live-version on "Live in Germany" VERSE:

^DWas Ridin' a^Glong side the highway, rollin' up the country side. ^DThinkin' I'm^G the devil's heatwave, what you burn in your crazy mind' ^DSaw a sl^Cight distra^Gction standin' by the road; ^CShe was smil^Ain' there, yellow in her hair; ^DDo you wanna, I was thinkin', would you care.

CHORUS: A Sweet Hitch-A-Hiker,

We could ^Gmake ^Dmusic at the Greasy King. A Sweet Hitch-A-Hiker, Won't ^Gyou ride on my fast machine'

VERSE:

^DCruisin' on ^Gthru the junction, I'm flyin' 'bout the speed of sound, ^DNoticin' pe^Gculiar function, I ain't no roller coaster show me down. ^DI turne^Cd aw^Gay to see her, Woah! she caught my eye, ^CBut I w^Aas rollin' down, movin' too fast; ^DDo you wanna, She was thinkin' can it last.

CHORUS SOLO during D C G C A D VERSE:

^DWas busted u^Gp along the highway, I'm the saddest ridin' fool alive. ^DWond'ring if you'r^Ge goin' in my way, won't you give a poor boy a ride' ^DHere s^Che come^Gs a ridin', Lord, She's flyin' high. ^CBut she w^Aas rollin' down, movin' too fast; ^DDo you wanna, She was thinkin' can I last.

Then repeat the chorus 3 times and fade out. Dat's it. Another great number of America's phantastic Creedence chaps... Suggestions, corrections and comments are always welcome, just e-mail me! Wow! My first transcription! I should've been born 30 years ago, when those guys were rockin'... -you can hardly listen to today's music...
