I got the version from the "Chronicle", but there's also a live-version on "Live in Germany".

[Verse 1]
D                                  G
Was ridin' along side the highway, rollin' on 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 dis-traction  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 2]
D                                  G
Cruisin' on thru the junction, I'm flyin' about the speed of sound.
D                                  G
Noticin' peculiar function, I'm no roller coaster slow it down.
D                C       G
I turned away to see her   Woah! she caught my eye!
C                          A
I was rollin' down, movin' too fast.
D
Do you wanna,sShe was thinkin', can it last?


[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?


[Solo]
D  C  G  C  A  D


[Verse 3]
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 po' boy a ride?
D                C       G
Here she comes a ridin',    Lord, she's flyin' high.
C                            A
She was rollin' down, movin' too fast.
D
Do you wanna, she was thinkin', can I last?


[Chorus] x3 to fade
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?
