Day Title: Hitchin' A Ride Band: Green Day Album: Nimrod Words by Billie Joe Music by Green Day Okay, I had my guitar tuned differently and
I found this easier way to play "Hitchin A Ride". Tune it like this: DADGBE Intro: Play this twice for intro D|9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-7-8 A|9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-7-8 D|9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-7-8 Play that over and over for the
verses. Verse 1: Hey mister, where are you headed? Are you in a hurry? I need a lift to happy hour, say oh no! Do you break for distilled
spirits? I need a break as well. The well that inebriates the
guilt. 1, 2. 1, 2, 3, 4. D|9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-7-8 Play 4 times
with lots of A|9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-7-8 distortion. On
last time leave D|9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-7-8 out
5-5-7-8. Verse 2: Cold turkeys gettin stale. Tonight I'm eatin crow. Fermented salmonella, poison oak, no! There's a drought at The Fountain of
Youth, And now I'm dehydrating. My tongue in swelling up, I say 1,2. 1,2,3,4! D|9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-7-8 Play 4 times
with lots of A|9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-7-8
distortion. D|9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-7-8 Chorus: D|2--2--2--2--4--4--4--4--9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-5-5 A|2--2--2--2--4--4--4--4--9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-5-5 D|2--2--2--2--4--4--4--4--9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-5-5 Troubled times you know I cannot
