  HITCHIN' A RIDE

  written by Murray/Callander

  performed by Vanity Fare (a one-hit group)

  tab transcribed by Collins Crapo <roxtar@srv.net>

  

  

  C / / / 2 / / / 3 / / / 4 /

  A thumb goes up, a car goes by

  It's nearly 1 AM and here am I

             F     G7           C

  Hitchin' a ride,   hitchin' a ride

               F    G7               C

  Gotta get me home   by the mornin' light

  

  Verse 2:

  I've got no fare to ride a train

  I'm nearly drownin' in the pourin' rain

  Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride

  Gotta get me home to my baby's side

  CHORUS:

  F           G7               C

  Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

  F           G7               C

  Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

  Verse 3:

  Long-distance call I got today

  She sounded lonely, so I'm on my way

  Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride

  Gotta get me home to keep her satisfied

  

  (instrumental: 2 measures of drum solo, 4 of C, 8 of C7)

  

  (chorus)

  

  Verse 4:

  A thumb goes up, a car goes by

  Won't somebody stop and help a guy

  Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride

  Been away too long from my baby's side

  

  (chorus)

  

  (repeat and fade):

  C7

  Ride, ride

  

  NOTE: The above tab approximates the recording.  However, I like to play it

  differently: I substitute the middle instrumental for one patterned after a

  verse minus its last line.  Then, instead of the ending coda, I repeat the

  chorus and fade.
