Verse 1
This (D major) (B flat major) (D major) song was first released on the Spirit
album. It is the only album it has been (G major) released on.
Verse 2
If your drivin' (G major) down the road and
you come (A minor) across an old man
(D major) Holdin' out his thumb in the wind (G major)
His (A minor) clothes are old and dirty and dirty
(E minor) that doesn't matter
It's his eyes (A major) that tell where he's (D major) been
(G major) If you're not afraid to take
your chances (A minor) on a stranger
(D major) He might have some company to lend
(G major) Why don't you (A minor) pull off to the side
and let that old (E minor) man have a ride
He can tell (A major) you all the crazy
things he's (D major) seen

Verse 3
I'm an old (D major) (B flat major) (F major) hitchhiker
The (G major) highway is the only
home I (D major) know
Where you're (B flat major) headed I don't mind
I ain't (F major) been there in some time
And it's just (A major) exactly where I want to go (D major)
Verse 4
I can (G major) tell you how I started in
the cir (A minor) cus as a barker
(D major) Drawin' people in from far and (G major) wide
They (A minor) never did regret the
(E minor) dollar that it cost 'em
We (A major) always left 'em feelin'
good in (D major) side
We were headed (G major) for Montana
when we (A minor) hired us a dancer
Her (D major) beauty it was more than I can say (G major)
(A minor) Then one summer night
she set my soul (E minor) on fire
Lord, I wish (A major) that she was
here with me today (D major)
Verse 5
I'm an old (B flat major) (F major) hitchhiker, I (G major) wonder
what's a waitin' 'round the bend (D major)
I don't (B flat major) know what I might see
and I don't (F major) need no guarantee
Just a ride (A major) from here to there
and back (D major) again
Interlude 1
(B flat major) (D major) (G major)
(A minor) (E minor) (A major)
Verse 6
I was (G major) only seventeen when I
(A minor) took the open highway
(D major) Took it for my teacher and a friend (G major)
I've been (A minor) thirty years a-
thumbin'
(E minor) Some might call it bummin'
But it's (A major) better than just cryin' in the (D major) wind
So if you're (G major) drivin' down the road and you come (A minor) across
an old man (D major) holdin' out his thumb in the rain (G major)
Why don't you (A minor) pull off to the side
let the poor (E minor) boy have a ride
He can tell (A major) you all the crazy
things (D major) he's seen
Verse 7
I'm an (B flat major) old (F major) (G major) hitchhiker lookin' to
the far side of the hill (D major)
Some people (B flat major) say I'll settle down
Build a home (F major) in some small town
But with (A major) in my heart I know I never (D major) will
I'm an old (B flat major)
