Neil Young - Hitchhiker

^Em7When I was a hitchhiker on the road I had to count on you But you needed me to e^Gase the load and for ^Dconversation ^Em7too, or ^Ddid you just pass on t^Chrough? ^{Em Em7}You didn't see me in Toronto when I first tried out some hash Smoked through a pen and I'd ^Gdo it again but I di^Ddn't have the ^Em7cash, I di^Ddn't have the ^Ccash ^{Em Em7}Then I tried amphetamines and my head was in a glass Taped underneath the speedo^Gmeter wires of my '^D48 Buick's da^Em7sh, but I k^Dnew that wouldn't l^Cast ^Em

^CThen came Cal^Gifornia, when I f^Cirst saw open w^Gater, in the^C land of oppo^Grtunity I ^Dknew I was getting ^Em7hotter, ^DI knew I was getting ^Chotter

^Em7But the neon lights and the endless nights, fame took me by surprise The doctor gave me va^Glium but I st^Dill couldn't close my e^Em7yes, I sti^Dll couldn't close my e^Cyes ^Em

^CThen came par^Ganoia and it ran ^Caway with ^Gme, I co^Culdn't sign my auto^Grgraph ^Dor appear^Em7 on TV, ^Dor see or ^Cbe seen,

^GLiving in the country sounded good to me Smoking grass while the su^Emmmer pasts in the r^Deal organic ^Emsea, where every^Dthing was gre^Cen

^Em7Then we had a kid and we split apart, I was living on the road A little cocaine went a lo^Gng long way to ea^Dse that different ^Em7load and ^Dmy head did explod^Ce, my ^Emhead did explode

^CI thought I w^Gas an Aztec or a ^Crunner in ^GPeru, I would ^Cbuild such beautiful bui^Gldings To hou^Dse the chosen ^Em7few, like an ^DInca from ^CPeru ^Em

^Em7How many years have come and gone, like friends and enemies? I tried to leave my p^Gast behind, but it's catc^Dhin' up with ^Em7me, it's cat^Dchin' up with ^Cme ^{Em Em7}I dunno how I'm standing here living in my life I'm thankful for my c^Ghildren, an^Dd my faithful^Em7 wife....
