You can hear a 40-second sound sample of John Herald singing HITCH HIKE FEVER at Shoeshine Records. That's one complete verse. That should be enough for some clever person (more clever than I) to work out the chords.

A review says the tune is very similar to RAILROAD BOOMER as sung by Goebel Reeves—but I'm not familiar with that tune either.

Verse 1 line 6 should be "And never start hitchhikin' round."
