[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
[Instrumental]
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
