Peacenick chords by Roy Zimmerman

Verse:
G7
Who's that chubby old hippy stuck in your chimney
                                                         Bmadd11
Sliding down in your fireplace, and now you see him knee-high
Cadd9
He's dropping out of the sky, dropping in just to lay it on you on a
                 G7
Christmas mornin'

Verse:
G7
Got a pipe in one hand and a peace sign in the other
                                                      Bmadd11
Got a sack on his back full of toys, love and brotherhood
Cadd9
A Volkswagen bus pulled by eight tiny reindeer, a twinkle in his eye
                       G7
and granola in his grin

Chorus:
Bm     F  Am Eb    G7
Peace.............Nick

Verse:
G7
To the children of the world he says Love is the answer
                                                               Bmadd11
To the grown-ups, says are you gonna give peace a chance or what?
Cadd9
In a trance on a transcontinental transcendental trip, can you dig what
                           G7
a long strange trip it's been?

Chorus:

Bm     F  Am Eb    G7
Peace.............Nick is flyin'

Bridge:
F
Now he shouting, "On Janis! On Jimi! On Jerryyyeah!"
                                                         C
And he shakes when he laughs like a bowl full of Cherry Garcia
          F#              E   F#m
Singing, "Ahhhhhhhhhhh...vay Maria"

Chorus:
G7
Some would tell him his message is silly and saccharine
                                                  Bmadd11
Some would call him a walking North Pole anachronism
Cadd9
And yeah, he's far out, but he's never far out of style - he'll turn
                                   G7
you on, but he'll never turn you in

Chorus:

Bm     F  Am Eb    G7
Peace.............Nick is flyin'

Outro:
       Cadd9
Merry Christmas to all, and to all peace tonight
Cadd9

And I heard his exclaim as he rode...
            G7
Outta sight!
G7
Outta sight!
G7
Outta sight ...
