HITCHIN' A RIDE
written by Murray/Callander
performed by Vanity Fare (a one-hit group)
tab transcribed by Collins Crapo
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.
