Hitchhker chords by Neil Young
Guitar chords with lyrics
Key: 'Em'
Em
When I was a hitchhiker on the road
I had to count on you
G
But you needed me to ease the load
D Em
And for conversation too
D C Em
Or did you just drive on through
Em
You didn't see me in Toronto

When I first tried out some hash
G
Smoked some then and I'll do it again
D Em
But I didn't have the cash
D C Em
I didn't have the cash
Em
Then I tried amphetamines
And my head was in a glass
G
Taped underneath the speedometer wires
D Em
Of my '48 Buick's dash
D C Em
But I knew that wouldn't last
C G
Then came California
C G
Where I first saw open water
C G
In the land of opportunity
D Em
I knew I was getting hotter
D C Em
I knew I was getting hotter
Em
But the neon lights
And the endless nights
They took me by surprise
G
The doctor gave me valium
D Em
But I still couldn't close my eyes
D C Em
I still couldn't close my eyes
C G
Then came paranoia
C G
And it ran away with me
C G
I couldn't sign my autograph
D Em
Or appear on TV
D C Em
Or see or be seen
G C
Living in the country
G C
Sounded good to me
G
Smoking grass while the summer lasts
Em
In the real organic sea
D Em
Where everything was green
Everything was green
Em
Then we had a kid and we split apart
I was living on the road
G
A little cocaine went a long long way
D Em
To ease that different load
D C Em
But my head did explode
My head did explode
C G
I wish I was an Aztec
C G
Or a runner in Peru
C G
I would build such beautiful buildings
D Em
To house the chosen few
D C Em
Like an Inca from Peru
Em
Now many years have come and gone
Like friends and enemies
G
I tried to leave my past behind
D Em
But it's catching up with me
D C Em
It's catching up with me
Em
I don't know how I'm standing here
Living my life
G
I'm thankful for my children
D Em
And my faithful wife Published:
