Harlan L Thompson <harlant@hawaii.edu> HITCHHIKER- Neil Young Em(7) When I was a hitchhiker on the road I had to count on you D Em(7) But you needed me to ease the load and for conversation too
OrD 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:
CThen came CalGifornia, where IC first saw openG water In theC land of oppoEm7rtunity, I kDnew I was getting hEm7otter ID knew I was gettingC hotter
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
GLiving in the country sounded good to me Smoking grass while the summer lasts in the rDeal organic Emscene Where eveDrything was grCeen everything was greAmen Em
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 When I was a hitchhiker on the road
