Hippies chords by Teddy And The Rough Riders

Intro:

B  C  C


Verse 1:
C                                     B
After a show, I approached a southern gentleman
      C                                      C
I was eager to know how I played and if he enjoyed it
       C                                             B
But he punished me for being nice and taking in his opinion
           C                     C              C
It doesn't make much sense to me now and didn't either then

Verse 2:
C                                            B
He explained to me we was south of the Mason-Dixon
           C                                      C
And he was raised to believe that wouldn't be a requirement
        C                                          B
To pay attention in school and social views of the govеrnment
          C                          C           C
And if he learnеd to read and write, he'd send a letter in


Chorus:
C                                                        B
'Cause if this wicked world's on its last leg, how Do we two-step?
         C                                            C
And that hair down to your shoulders don't cover that big chip
          C                                              B       G
Keep your mind on what's important, son, or you're gonna lose it
B                C            C
Hippies make the best country music


Guitar Solo:

Verse 3:
C                                      B
He proceeds to buy up everything I was telling him
          C                                         C
But not a nickel or dime for any other things I was selling them
                 C                                      B
He said, "You're working much too hard and you'll never make it big"
    C                      C                     C
And that's why the hippies make the best country music


Chorus:
C                                                        B
'Cause if this wicked world's on its last leg, how Do we two-step?
         C                                            C
And that hair down to your shoulders don't cover that big chip
          C                                              B       G
Keep your mind on what's important, son, or you're gonna lose it
B                C            C
Hippies make the best country music
