#1.s-
Eb                                Ab.u
Was ridin' alongside the highway, rollin' up the country side.e-
Eb                                          Ab
Thinkin' I'm the devil's heatwave, what you burn in your crazy mind?
Eb                       C#              Ab
Saw a slight distraction standin' by the road..
C#                     Bb
she was smilin' there, yellow in her hair.
Eb                                      Eb7
Do you wanna, I was thinkin', would you care?

 
CHORUS:
Bb                            Ab                       Eb
Sweet hitch-a-hiker, we could make music at the Greasy King.
Bb                                             Ab        
Sweet hitch-a-hiker, won't you ride on my fast machine?

#2. 
Eb                                                   Ab
Cruisin' on thru the junction, I'm flyin' 'bout the speed of sound,
Eb                                  Ab
noticin' peculiar function, I ain't no roller coaster, slow me down.
Eb                        C#                  Ab
I turned away to see her..whoa! she caught my eye..
C#                                 Bb
but I was rollin' down, movin' too fast.
Eb                                     Eb7
Do you wanna, she was thinkin', can it last?

CHORUS:
Bb                            Ab                       Eb
Sweet hitch-a-hiker, we could make music at the Greasy King.
Bb                                             Ab        
Sweet hitch-a-hiker, won't you ride on my fast machine?

Eb                                       Ab
Was busted up along the highway, I'm the saddest ridin' fool alive.
Eb                                          Ab
Wondering if you're goin' my way, won't you give a poor boy a ride?
Eb                             C#                 Ab
Well, here she comes a ridin', Lord, she's flyin' high..
C#                                   Bb
but she was rollin' down, movin' too fast.
Eb                                    Eb7
Do you wanna, she was thinkin', can I last?
