Old Hippie - The Bellamy Brothers
G
He turned thirty-five last Sunday,
C G
In his hair he found some gray But he still ain't changed his lifestyle,
C D C
He likes it better the old way So he grows a little garden
G
in the back yard by the fence
C G
He's consuming what he's growing nowadays in self defense
D
He get's out there in the twilight zone
C G
Some times when it just don't make no sense
G
He gets off on country music,
C G
Cause disco left him cold He's got young friends into new wave,
C D C
buts he's just too friggin old And he dreams at night of Woodstock
G C
and the day John Lennon died how the music made him happy,
G D
and the silence made him cry
Bm C G
Yeah he thinks of John sometimes and he has to wonder why
[Chorus]
C G D
He's an old hippie and he don't know what to do should hang on to the old
G C G
should he grab on to the new he's an old hippie his new life is just a bust
D C D G
he ain't trying to change nobody he just trying real hard to adjust
G
He was sure back in the sixties
C G
that everyone was hip Then they sent him off to Vietnam on his senior (D) trip
C G
And they force him to become a man while he was still a boy
C G D
and in each wave of tragedy he waited for the joy
Bm C G
Now this world may change around him but he just can't change no more
[Chorus]
C G D
He's an old hippie and he don't know what to do should hang on to the old
G C G
Should he grab on to the new he's an old hippie his new life is just a bust
D C D G
He ain't trying to change nobody he just trying real hard to adjust
[Verse 4]
G
Well he stays away a lot now
C G C G
from the parties and the clubs And he's thinking while he's joggin' 'round
C D
Sure is glad he quit the hard drugs Cause him and his kind get more (G)endangered everyday
C G
And pretty soon the species will just up and fade away
D C G
Like the smoke from that torpedo just up and fade away
[Outro]
C G D
He's an old hippie and he don't know what to do should hang on to the old
G C G
should he grab on to the new he's an old hippie his new life is just a bust
D C D G
he ain't trying to change nobody he just trying real hard to adjust
