Hitch to My Gitalong

Capo 1st fret


E   A


  D                        A
I got a little hitch in my gitalong -
   E                   A
My gitalong just won't get the way it used to.
D                         A
Gotta take a switch to my gitalong
        E                 A     E - A
Just to get along home to you.


     E                   A
When I look back I see a little bitty boy,
    E               A
And run so fast and jump so high,
    D                  A
But that was then when I was young,
      B7                   E
And I thought that I could fly.

Now I got a little hitch in my gitalong -
My gitalong just won't get the way it used to.
Gotta take a switch to my gitalong
Just to get along home to you.

I never have thought that my bones would creak,
My back would ache as the years slipped by.
The days grew short and nights grew long,
But I still thought I could fly.

But I got a little hitch in my gitalong -
My gitalong just won't get the way it used to.
Gotta take a switch to my gitalong
Just to get along home to you.

Coming home tonight, I was an hour late.
Couldn't really say when you asked me why.
I guess gravity held me to the earth,
And it would not let me fly.

So I got a little hitch in my gitalong -
My gitalong just won't get the way it used to.
Gotta take a switch to my gitalong
Just to get along home to you.
Just to get along home to you.
