Hitchin' a Ride Green Day
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well this is my TAB for Hitchin' a Ride. TAB Date: October 29, 1997. I've
been working and updating this one for quite some time now, and I'm pretty
sure it's perfect, although I may STILL have some parts wrong. If this is
true, please lemme know and send me the correct version. Someone pointed
out to me: "why does the bass line goes like this (fig. 1) instead of just
playing the root of the guitar during the solo like every bassist should?

Ahem. Because Mike Dirnt is more than just an average bassist. The 2-2
instead of 7-7 I put there for ease of playing. Plus on the video it looks
like that's what they do anyways. If you listen closely (it helps if you
have 3D sound on your soundcard/home stereo for this) you can hear him do
that neato 8th note run. I think it's really cool. Kinda mysterious, hmm?
Well enough babble, here's the song

Intro - Rhy. Fig. 1
Verse 1 - w/ Rhy. Fig. 1
Hey mister, where you headed?
Are you in a hurry?
I need a lift to happy hour.
Say oh no.
Do you brake for distilled spirits?
I need a break as well.
The well that inebriates the guilt.
1, 2. 1, 2, 3, 4.
Interlude - Rhy. Fig. 1 w/ Rhy. Fill. 1 2nd time
Verse 2 - w/ Rhy. Fig. 1
Cold turkey's getting stale,
tonight I'm eating crow.
Fermented salmonella poison oak no.
There's a drought at the fountain of youth, and now I'm dehydrating.
My tongue is swelling up, as say 1, 2. 1, 2, 3, 4.
Pre-Chorus - Rhy. Fig. 1
Chorus - Rhy. Fig. 2
Troubled times, you know I can not lie.
I'm off the wagon and I'm hitchin' a ride.

Verse 1
Outro w/ background vocal: "Don't know where to go"
