G C G
He turned thirty-five last Sunday in his hair he found some gray
D7
But he still ain't changed his lifestyle he likes it better the old way
C G
So he grows a little garden in the back yard by the fence
C G D7
He's consuming what he's growing now-a days in self defense
G
He gets out there in the twilight zone
C G
Sometimes when it just don't make no sense
C G
He gets off on country music cause disco left him cold
D7
He's got young friends in a new wave but he's just too damn old
C G
And he dreams at night of Woodstock and the day John Lennon died
C G D7
How the music made him happy and the silence made him cry
G C G
Yeah he thinks of John sometimes and he has to wonder why
C G
He's an old hippie and he don't know what to do
D7 G
Should he hang on to the old should he grab on to the new
C G
He's an old hippie his new life is just a bust
D7 C D7 G
He ain't trying to change nobody he just trying real hard to adjust
C G
He was sure back in the sixties that everyone was hip
D7
Then they sent him off to Vietnam on his senior trip
C G
And they forced him to become a man while he was still a boy
C G D7
And behind each wave of tragedy he waited for the joy
G C G
Now this world may change around him but he just can't change no more
C G
He's an old hippie and he don't know what to do
D7 G
Should he hang on to the old should he grab on to the new
C G
He's an old hippie his new life is just a bust

D7 C D7 G

C G
Well he stays away a lot now from the parties and the clubs
And he's thinking while he's jogging around
D7
Sure is glad he quit the hard drugs
C G
Cause him and his kind get more endangered everyday
C G D7
And pretty soon the species will just up and fade away
G C G
Like the smoke from that torpedo just up and fade away
