I Saw A Hippie Girl On 8th Avenue Acoustic Chords

Tuning: EADGBE Very easy song, only 3 chords (G can also be played as a Gm) G C I saw a hippy girl on 8th avenue G D She barely looked at me for a second or two G C G And I suddenly realized I no longer looked much like a hippy D Mmmmm G C She had a long thin dress and rainbow clothes G D Not long ago I wore one of those G C G But now-a-days I guess I don't dress very much like anything D Mmmmm

C D I had a great pair of bellbottoms, I had two C D My friend borrowed one and the other I outgrew C D G D And now to the eye I'm turning into another non-descript guy G C But I still travel light and my hair is still long G D I still hate deoderant and I still sing songs G C G D But over the years I've noticed I'm not dressing as colourfully and psychedelic as I used to G C 'Cause I wore my tye-dyes until they rotted to shreds G D And I can no longer follow The Greatful Dead G C G D And it's gotten to the point where I don't even identify with most Phish fans anymore C D And someday soon I know I'll cut my hair C D And a week after that I know I won't even care C D Is that what it comes to all along? C D Everything that you feel will one day feel wrong G I was talking to my friend Eric C Just to see what he thunk G And he said "Jeff, it's weird D But I no longer look like a punk G C I guess we don't need our clothes for an identity crutch" G D And we looked at each other and we didn't look like much G C And we looked out at the world like a movie theatre G D At all the hippies and the punks and the skinheads and the skaters G C G And someday or other maybe sooner or later they'll come to the realization D C That what's important is whether you can carry on a human conversation D It's not what you wear on the outside C G
