			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.
