Words by Billie Joe
Music by Green Day
Okay, I had my guitar tuned differently and I found this easier way to play
"Hitchin A Ride".
Tune it like this: DADGBE
Intro: Play this twice for intro
D|9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-7-8
A|9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-7-8
D|9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-7-8
Play that over and over for the verses.
Verse 1:
Hey mister, where are you headed?
Are you in a hurry?
I need a lift to happy hour,
say oh no!
Do you break for distilled spirits?
I need a break as well.
The well that inebriates the guilt.
1, 2. 1, 2, 3, 4.
D|9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-7-8 Play 4 times with lots of
A|9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-7-8 distortion. On last time leave
D|9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-7-8 out 5-5-7-8.
Verse 2:
Cold turkeys gettin stale.
Tonight I'm eatin crow.
Fermented salmonella,
poison oak, no!
There's a drought at The Fountain of Youth,
And now I'm dehydrating.
My tongue in swelling up, I say
1,2. 1,2,3,4!
D|9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-7-8 Play 4 times with lots of
A|9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-7-8 distortion.
D|9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-7-8
Chorus:
D|2--2--2--2--4--4--4--4--9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-5-5
A|2--2--2--2--4--4--4--4--9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-5-5
D|2--2--2--2--4--4--4--4--9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-5-5
Troubled times you know I cannot lie
D|2--2--2--2--4--4--4--4--
A|2--2--2--2--4--4--4--4--
D|2--2--2--2--4--4--4--4--
I'm off the wagon and I'm hitchin' a ride.
Bridge: (Play same as verses.)
There's a drought at the fountain of youth
and now I'm dehydrating.
My tongue is swelling up I say.......(don't play here)
shit!

Outro:
D|9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-7-8 Play that 8x
A|9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-7-8 On last one leave out 5-5-7-8 and
D|9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-7-8 Billie Joe says some kinda jibberish.
No, no way! Hitchin a ride!
(I think thats what they say)
and finally play this:
E|-4-|
B|-4-|
G|-4-|
D|-4-|
