Verse 1:
D5               Cadd9
Pressure washing over you,
G                D5
Scraping dreams away.
D5             Cadd9
Monotony tearing slow and deep,
G           A7     D5   Riff
Wearing you away.
 
Verse 2:
D5               Cadd9
hippie kids and summer days
G                D5
showing you the way.
D5                Cadd9
Endless nights on LSD,
G        A7       D5   Riff
rainbow mountain majesty.

Chorus:
D              A         G                A
DJ’s wearing jean shorts Gin and Mountain Dew,
D              A           G               A
His calm is a mirror that reflects back at you.
D              A         G             A
Perfection traps, a waste of something true,
 
Verse 3:
D5        Cadd9
Rafts on rapids, wild and free,
G         D5
DJ's grin lights the way for me.
D5        Cadd9
Carefree dances and starry skies,
G         A7       D5 (riff)
Buddha's wisdom in his laughing eyes.
 
Verse 4:
D5        Cadd9
Summer highs on river's bend,
G         D5
Magic blooms where journeys end.
D5        Cadd9
No worries chain his wandering soul,
G         A7       D5 (riff)
Hippie heart forever whole.

Jean shorts faded, spirit bright,

Carefree king of the river's flow,
G         A7       D5 (riff)
Seeds of joy wherever he'd go.
 
Verse 7: (Starting to Hint at Shadows)
D5        Cadd9
Rainbow visions start to fade,
G         D5
Hippie dreams in twilight shade.
D5        Cadd9
Overdosed on freedom's call,
G         A7       D5 (riff)
Buddha's light begins to pall.

Hippie kid who always knew.

Buddha's peace lives on within.

In the wild, his lessons stay,

Hippie Buddha lights the way.
