Hitchin' A Ride Green Day nimrod. (1997) Lyrics: Billie Joe Armstrong Music: Green Day Tuning: Normal Notes: The main riff appears throughout the song, just vary the strumming pattern and intesity according to which part you're at. The solo is octaves in the D and B strings, just strum as fast as you can. h = hammer-on p = pull-off b = bend / = slide up \ = slide down 5 = power chord Intro (violin arranged for guitar) e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------8------------------------------------------------| G|------8h9-11----11--9-8h9p8------------------------------------| D|-9h10-----------------------10---------------------------------| A|-------------------------------x-x-----------------------------| E|-------------------------------x-x-----------------------------| Main riff B5 A5 G#5 G5 e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------| D|-9----7----6----5----------------------------------------------| A|-9----7----6----5----------------------------------------------| E|-7----5----4----3----------------------------------------------| Chorus E5 F#5 E5 F#5 e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----------(main riff)-----------------------------------------| D|-2----4-----------------2----4---------------------------------| A|-2----4-----------------2----4---------------------------------| E|-0----2-----------------0----2---------------------------------| Bridge (played over end chords, strum really fast) | x3 | e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|-12--15---12--8--7---12--15---17-b---17--15--12--15---12--15---| G|-x---x----x---x--x---x---x----x------x---x---x---x----x---x----| D|-9---12---9---5--4---9---12---14-b---14--12--9---12---9---12---| A|---------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------| | x2 | e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|-12--10--12--15--17--15---17b----------------------------------| G|-x---x---x---x---x---x----x------------------------------------| D|-9---7---9---12--14--12---14b----------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------| End B5 D5 G5 F#5 (x7) B5 D5 F#5 (over last F#5) B6 e|-----------------------------------------------------------4---| B|--------------------------------------------17b------------4---| G|------7-------------------------7-----------x--------------4---| D|-9----7----5----4----------9----7----4------14b------------4---| A|-9----5----5----4----------9----5----4---------------------2---| E|-7---------3----2----------7---------2-------------------------| Order Intro (violin intro, main riff x2) Verse 1 (main riff x4) Verse 2 (main riff x4) Main riff x4 (last G5 omitted) Verse 3 (main riff x4) Verse 4 (main riff x4) Main riff x4 Chorus Main riff x2 Verse 4 (main riff x4) Bridge Chorus End Lyrics Hey mister, where you headed Are you in a hurry' (Verse 1) Need a lift to happy hour Say "Oh no" Do you brake for distilled spirits Need a break as well (Verse 2) The well the inebriates the guilt 1..2..1..2..3..4 Cold turkey's gettin stale Tonight I'm eatin crow Fermented salmonella (Verse 3) Poison oak, no There's a drought at the fountain of youth Now I'm dehydrating (Verse 4) My tongue is swelling up, I say 1..2..1..2..3..4 Troubled times You know I cannot lie (Chorus) I'm off the wagon and I'm hitchin a ride (Verse 4)(replace "1..2..1..2..3..4" with scream) (Bridge) (Chorus) (Don't know where to go) Hitchin' a ride (End)
