 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.
