CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL
____________________________
_____Sweet Hitch-Hiker______
written by John C. Fogerty
I got the version from the "Chronicle", but there's also a live-version on "Live in Germany"
VERSE:
D G
Was Ridin' along side the highway, rollin' up the country side.
D G
Thinkin' I'm the devil's heatwave, what you burn in your crazy mind?
D C G
Saw a slight distraction standin' by the road;
C A
She was smilin' there, yellow in her hair;
D
Do you wanna, I was thinkin', would you care.

CHORUS:
A
Sweet Hitch-A-Hiker,
G D
We could make music at the Greasy King.
A
Sweet Hitch-A-Hiker,
G
Won't you ride on my fast machine?
VERSE:
D G
Cruisin' on thru the junction, I'm flyin' 'bout the speed of sound,
D G
Noticin' peculiar function, I ain't no roller coaster show me down.
D C G
I turned away to see her, Woah! she caught my eye,
C A
But I was rollin' down, movin' too fast;
D
Do you wanna, She was thinkin' can it last.
CHORUS
SOLO during D C G C A D
VERSE:
D G
Was busted up along the highway, I'm the saddest ridin' fool alive.
D G
Wond'ring if you're goin' in my way, won't you give a poor boy a ride?
D C G
Here she comes a ridin', Lord, She's flyin' high.
C A
But she was rollin' down, movin' too fast;
D
Do you wanna, She was thinkin' can I last.
Then repeat the chorus 3 times and fade out. Dat's it.
Another great number of America's phantastic Creedence chaps...

I should've been born 30 years ago, when those guys were rockin'...
-you can hardly listen to today's music...
