Old Hippie - The Bellamy Brothers
CAPO UP 2 FOR B
[A] He turned thirty-five last Sunday,
[D] In his hair he found some [A] gray
But he still ain't changed his lifestyle,
[D] He likes it better the old [E] way
So he [D] grows a little garden
in the back [A] yard by the fence
He's [D] consuming what he's growing
nowa [A] days in self defense
He get's [E] out there in the twilight zone
Some [D] times when it just don't make [A] no sense
[A] He gets off on country music,
[ C ] cause disco left him [A] cold
He's got young friends into new wave,
[D] buts he's just too [E] friggin old
And he [ C ] dreams at night of Woodstock
and the [ G ] day John Lennon died
how the [ C ] music made him happy,
and the [ G ] silence made him [E] cry
Yea he [C#m] thinks of John sometimes
and he [ C ] has to wonder [ G ] why
He's an [D] old hippie
and he [A] don't know what to do
should [E] hang on to the old
should he [A] grab on to the new
he's an [D] old hippie
his new [A] life is just a bust
he ain't [E] trying to change nobody
he just [D] trying real [E] hard to [A] adjust
[A] He was sure back in the sixties
[D] that everyone was [A] hip
Then they sent him off to Vietnam
[D] on his senior [E] trip
And they [ C ] force him to become a man
while [ G ] he was still a boy
and in [ C ] each wave of tragedy
he [ G ] waited for the [E] joy
Now this [ Bm ] world may change around him
[D] but he just can't change no [A] more
He's an [D] old hippie
and he [A] don't know what to do
should [E] hang on to the old
should he [A] grab on to the new
he's an [D] old hippie
his new [A] life is just a bust
he ain't [E] trying to change nobody
he just [D] trying real [E] hard to [A] adjust
[A] Well he stays away a lot now
[ C ] from the parties and the [A] clubs
[ C ] And he's thinking while he's [A] joggin' 'round
Sure is [ C ] glad he quit the hard [ D ] drugs
Cause [ C ] him and his kind get more [ G ] endangered everyday
[ C ] And pretty soon the species
will just [ G ] up and fade away
Like the [ D ] smoke from that torpedo
just [ C ] up and fade [ G ] away
He's an [D] old hippie
and he [A] don't know what to do
should [E] hang on to the old
should he [A] grab on to the new
he's an [D] old hippie
his new [A] life is just a bust
he ain't [E] trying to change nobody
he just [D] trying real [E] hard to [A] adjust
