[Intro 1]
[Am][Am][Am][C]
[Em][G][Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]I'm ridin' my thumb upto[Em]wn
for to [G]find me a [Am]score
There's a Manitoba [Em]man
behind the [G]fillin' [Am]station store
[Dm]Man, he's got [C]stuff
that leaves every [Dm]limb[C]
singin' [Dm]for [C]more[Dm][G]
So I'm [Am]ridin' my thumb [Em]uptown
for to [G]find me a score
[Am][Am]

[Verse 2]
My [Am]good gal stood by me
and I [Em]know she's the [G]light of [Am]my life
But if I am to be truthful,
[Em]I don't feel alive[G] 'til it's night[Am]
When the [Dm]hours I'm [C]alone in the [Dm]dark
are the [C]only in [Dm]sight[C][Dm][G]
But my [Am]good gal stood by me
and I [Em]know she's the [G]light of my [Am]life
[Am][C][Em][G]
[Am][Am]

[Verse 3]
But my [Am]time is past due
and [Em]I ought to be [G]movin' alo[Am]ng
I've been kickin' my feet,
[Em]wanderin' these stre[G]ets for too long[Am]
My [Dm]good gal, she [C]tells me
she's [Dm]dreamin' of [C]raisin' a son
[Dm][C][Dm][G]
But my [Am]time is past due,
[Em]I ought to be mo[G]vin' along[Am]
[Am][C][Em][G]
[Am][Am]

[Verse 4]
I [Am]reckon I'll make one last [Em]stop
[G]before I g[Am]o
He's waitin' for me at the [Em]pumps,[G]
surely he [Am]knows
That [Dm]twenty-four [C]hours have passed
[Dm]since I last powde[C]red my nose[Dm][C]
[Dm][G][G]
So I [Am]reckon I'll make one [Em]last stop
[G]before I g[Am]o
[Am][C][Em][G][Am]
