Old Hippe chords by Bellamy Brothers

Chords with lyrics

BB                 E MajorE             BB
He turned thirty-five last Sunday in his hair he found some gray
                                F#F#
But he still ain't changed his lifestyle he likes it better the old way
   E MajorE                 BB
So he grows a little garden in the back yard by the fence
    E MajorE               BB       F#F#
He's consuming what he's growing now-a days in self defense
  BB
He gets out there in the twilight zone
  E MajorE                BB
Sometimes when it just don't make no sense

               E MajorE          BB
He gets off on country music cause disco left him cold
                              F#F#
He's got young friends in a new wave but he's just too damn old
    E MajorE                 BB
And he dreams at night of Woodstock and the day John Lennon died
    E MajorE               BB       F#F#
How the music made him happy and the silence made him cry
    BB            E MajorE          BB
Yeah he thinks of John sometimes and he has to wonder why

    E MajorE         BB
He's an old hippie and he don't know what to do
     F#F#              BB
Should he hang on to the old should he grab on to the new
    E MajorE             BB
He's an old hippie his new life is just a bust
     F#F#               E MajorE      F#F#   BB
He ain't trying to change nobody he just trying real hard to adjust

            E MajorE             BB
He was sure back in the sixties that everyone was hip
                        F#F#
Then they sent him off to Vietnam on his senior trip
    E MajorE                 BB
And they forced him to become a man while he was still a boy
   E MajorE               BB       F#F#
And behind each wave of tragedy he waited for the joy
     BB             E MajorE              BB
Now this world may change around him but he just can't change no more


               E MajorE             BB
Well he stays away a lot now from the parties and the clubs

And he's thinking while he's jogging around
               F#F#
Sure is glad he quit the hard drugs
   E MajorE              BB
Cause him and his kind get more endangered everyday
  E MajorE              BB        F#F#
And pretty soon the species will just up and fade away
     BB            E MajorE        BB
Like the smoke from that torpedo just up and fade away
