   D5
An angel on a Harley
                                         A5
Pulls across to greet a fellow rolling stone
         D5
Puts his bike up on it's stand

Leans back and then extends
                     A5
A scarred and greasy hand...he said
G5                                               C5      A5
  How ya doin bro?...where ya been?...where ya goin'?
         D5
Then he takes your hand

In some strange Californian handshake
                G5
And breaks the bone
        
        Have a nice day
   D5
A housewife from Encino

Whose husband's on the golf course
          A5
With his book of rules
  D5
Breaks and makes a 'U' and idles back
                          A5
To take a second look at you
G5
You flex your rod
                C5          A5
Fish takes the hook
       D5
Sweet vodka and tobacco in her breath
G5
  Another number in your little black book


C5                                E5
  These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
C5                                 E5
  These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
D5                      G5
  Oh babe, I must be dreaming
      D5
I'm standing on the leading edge
                                      A5
The Eastern seaboard spread before my eyes
  D5
"Jump" says Yoko Ono
                                          A5
"I'm too scared and too good looking" I cried
 G5
"Go on", she says
                          C5        A5
"Why don't you give it a try?
 D5                                  G5
Why prolong the agony all men must die"
D5
  Do you remember Dick Tracy?
                 A5
Do you remember Shane?
        
And mother wants you
           D5
Could you see him selling tickets
                                 A5
Where the buzzard circles over [Shane]

The body on the plain
        G5
Did you understand the music Yoko
                  C5             A5
Or was it all in vain?  [Shane]
     D5
The bitch said something mystical "Herro"
       G5
So I stepped back on the kerb again
C5                                 E5
  These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
C5                                 E5
  These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
D5                      G5
  Oh babe, I must be dreaming again
C5                                 E5  (repeat and fade)
  These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
