Hitchiker chords

If you're [G]riding down the road and you [Am]come across an old man
[D7]holding out his thumb in the [G]wind.
[Am]Clothes are old and dirty,[Em] that doesn't matter,
it's his [A7]eyes that tell you where he's [D]been.
[G]If you're not afraid to take your [Am]chances on a stranger,
[D7]he might have some company to [G]lend.
[Am]Pull off to the side, let the [Em]old man have a ride.
He'll [A7]tell you all the crazy things he's [D]seen.

I'm an [Bb]old hitch[F]hiker, [G]highway is the only home I [D]know.
Where you [Bb]headed, I don't mind. I ain't [F]been there in some time,
but it's [A7]just exactly where I wanna [D]go.

I can [D]tell you how I started in the [Am]circus as a barker
[D7]calling people in from far and [G]wide.
They [Am]never did regret the [Em]dollar that it cost them,
we [A7]always left 'em feeling good in[D]side.
We were [G]headed for Montana when we [Am]hired us a dancer,
her [D7]beauty it was more than I can [G]say.
Then [Am]one summer night she set my [Em]soul on fire,
Lord, I [A7]wish that she was here with me [D]today.

I'm an [Bb]old hitch[F]hiker, [G]wonder what's awaiting round the [D]bend.
I don't [Bb]know what I might see, I don't [F]need no guarantee,
just a [A7]ride from here to there and back a[D]gain.

I was [G]only seventeen when I [Am]took the open highway,
[D7]took it for my teacher and a [G]friend.
I've been [Am]thirty years of thumbing, [Em]some might call it bumming,
it's [A7]better than just crying in the [D]wind.
If you're [G]driving down the road and you [Am]come across an old man,
[D7]holding out his thumb in the [G]rain.
You can [Am]pull off to the side, let the [Em]poor boy have a ride,
he can [A7]tell you all the crazy things he's [D]seen.

I'm an [Bb]old hitch[F]hiker, [G]looking to the far side of the [D]hill.
Some people [Bb]say I'll settle down, build a [F]home in some small town.
But [A7]in my heart I know I never [D]will,
I'm an [Bb]old hitch[F]hiker. [G] [D] [G]
