Hitchhker

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                  
I would build such beautiful 
  G
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
