Hitch-Hikers Hero

A  A  D  C  A  A
A  A  D  C  A  A

[Verse 1]
        A                         D  C
You have seen him by the roadside
        A
With his sun-striped inner will
      A                           D  C
He was one with them at Woodstock
      A                      D  C
He was there at Watkins Glen

[Chorus]
      E                   Esus4
He's a hitch-hiker's hero
E                   Esus4
King of the highway
G                               D7          A  A  D  C
He has been around the world and back again

[Verse 2]
        A                           D  C
Now, the children gather 'round him
        A
And they ask him where he's been
        A                        D  C
And they look at him with wonder
              A                        D  C
And well, they wish that they were him

[Chorus]
      E                   Esus4
He's a hitch-hiker's hero
E                   Esus4
King of the highway
   G                                 D7          A
And they would follow him to Hell and back again

D  C  Bb  A

[Verse 3]
   A                       D  C
The children never see him
        A
When the nights are dark and cold
        A                     D  C
When the cars are few, if any
       A                   D  C
He only wishes he was home

[Chorus]
        E                   Esus4
But that hitch-hiker's hero
E                        Esus4
He's gotta keep on going
G                             D7
Knowing not where he will be tomorrow
E               Esus4 E                Esus4
Hitch-hiker's hero gotta keep on going
E               Esus4 E                Esus4
Hitch-hiker's hero, hitch-hiker's hero
E
Gotta keep on, gotta keep on going

[Instrumental]
D  C  Bb  A7

[Chorus]
E                  Esus4
Hitch-hiker's hero
E                   Esus4
King of the highway
E                  Esus4
Hitch-hiker's hero
E                   Esus4
King of the highway
E                                   A
He's gotta keep on, gotta keep on going
