SWEET HITCH-HIKER
By: John C. Fogerty
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Key: D

-2*  3  3  -2* 3    3   -2*  -3  -1
Was rid-in' a-long side the high-way, 
 3   -2  3  -2   3   -2   -3
Roll-in' up the coun-try side.
 -2*  -2*  3  -2*  3   -2*  -3   -1
Think-in' I'm the dev-il's heat-wave, 
 3   -2*  3   3   -2   3  -2  -3
What you burn in your cra-zy mind?
 3 -2*  -3   -3   -1   2
Saw a slight dis-trac-tion 
  3   3   -3 -3   -1
Stand-in' by the road;
 3  -2   3   -2    3     
She was smil-in' there, 
 3  -2* 3   3   -3
Yel-low in her hair;
-2 -2  -2  -2 -2 -2   -2   -2
Do you wan-na, I was think-in', 
 -2   -2   -1
would you care.

[CHORUS:]
  3     3   3 -3 -3
Sweet Hitch-a-Hi-ker,
3    3    3    3  3  3  -3   -2  -1  -2
We could make mus-ic at the Greas-y King.
  3     3   3 -3  -3
Sweet Hitch-a-Hik-er,
  3    3   3   3  -3  -2  -1  -5
Won't you ride on my fast ma-chine?

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
