Old Hippie - The Bellamy Brothers

[G+G] He turned thirty-five last Sunday,
[C majorC] In his hair he found some [G+G] gray
But he still ain't changed his lifestyle,
[C majorC] He likes it better the old [D MajorD] way

So he [C majorC] grows a little garden
in the back [G+G] yard by the fence
He's [C majorC] consuming what he's growing
nowa [G+G] days in self defense
He get's [D MajorD] out there in the twilight zone
Some [C majorC] times when it just don't make [G+G] no sense

[G+G] He gets off on country music,
[C majorC ] cause disco left him [G+G] cold
He's got young friends into new wave,
[C majorC] buts he's just too [D MajorD] friggin old

And he [C majorC ] dreams at night of Woodstock
and the [G+G ] day John Lennon died
how the [C majorC ] music made him happy,
and the [G+G ] silence made him [D MajorD] cry
Yea he [B minorBm] thinks of John sometimes
and he [C majorC ] has to wonder [G+G ] why

He's an [C majorC] old hippie
and he [G+G] don't know what to do
should [D MajorD] hang on to the old
should he [G+G] grab on to the new
he's an [C majorC] old hippie
his new [G+G] life is just a bust
he ain't [D MajorD] trying to change nobody
he just [C majorC] trying real [D MajorD] hard to [G+G] adjust

[G+G] He was sure back in the sixties
[C majorC] that everyone was [G+G] hip
Then they sent him off to Vietnam
[C majorC] on his senior [D MajorD] trip

And they [C majorC ] force him to become a man
while [G+G ] he was still a boy
and in [C majorC ] each wave of tragedy
he [G+G ] waited for the [D MajorD] joy
Now this [B minorBm ] world may change around him
[C majorC] but he just can't change no [G+G] more

He's an [C majorC] old hippie
and he [G+G] don't know what to do
should [D MajorD] hang on to the old
should he [G+G] grab on to the new
he's an [C majorC] old hippie
his new [G+G] life is just a bust
he ain't [D MajorD] trying to change nobody
he just [C majorC] trying real [D MajorD] hard to [G+G] adjust

[G+G] Well he stays away a lot now
[C majorC ] from the parties and the [G+G] clubs
[C majorC ] And he's thinking while he's [G+G] joggin' 'round
Sure is [C majorC ] glad he quit the hard [D MajorD ] drugs
Cause [C majorC ] him and his kind get more [G+G ] endangered everyday
[C majorC ] And pretty soon the species
will just [G+G ] up and fade away
Like the [D MajorD ] smoke from that torpedo
just [C majorC ] up and fade [G+G ] away

He's an [C majorC] old hippie
and he [G+G] don't know what to do
should [D MajorD] hang on to the old
should he [G+G] grab on to the new
he's an [C majorC] old hippie
his new [G+G] life is just a bust
he ain't [D MajorD] trying to change nobody
he just [C majorC] trying real [D MajorD] hard to [G+G] adjust
