Old Hippie
by The Bellamy Brothers
This song sounds best when you alternate between
G and D for the bass on the G-chord; The C and middle
E on the C-Chord; and D and A on the D-chord. Play it
with "boom chuka" rhythm.
G
He turned thirty-five last Sunday
C G
In his hair he found some gray
G
But he still ain't changed his lifestyle
C D7
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 nowadays in self defense
G
He get's out there in the twilight zone
C G
sometimes when it just don't make no sense
G
He gets off on country music
C G
cause disco left him cold
G
He's got young friends into new wave
C D7
buts he's just too friggin old
C
And he dreams at night of Woodstock
G
and the day John Lennon died
C
how the music made him happy
G D7
and the silence made him cry
G C
Yea he thinks of John sometimes
C G
and he has to wonder why
== Chorus ==
C
He's an old hippie
G
and he don't know what to do
D7
should hang on to the old
G
should he grab on to the new
C
he's an old hippie
G
his new life is just a bust
D7
he ain't trying to change nobody
C D7 G
he just trying real hard to adjust
G
He was sure back in the sixties
C G
that everyone was hip
G
Then they sent him off to Vietnam
G D7
on his senior trip
C
And they forced him to become a man
G
while he was still a boy
C G
and behind each wave of tragedy
G D7
he waited for the joy
G
Now this world may change around him
C G
but he just can't change no more
== Chorus ==
C
He's an old hippie
G
and he don't know what to do
D7
should hang on to the old
G
should he grab on to the new
C
he's an old hippie
G
his new life is just a bust
D7
he ain't trying to change nobody
C D7 G
he just trying real hard to adjust
G
Well he stays away a lot now
C G
from the parties and the clubs
G
And he's thinking while he's joggin' 'round
D7
Sure is glad he quit the hard drugs
C G
Cause him and his kind get more endangered everyday
C G
And pretty soon the species
G D7
will just up and fade away
G
Like the smoke from that torpedo
C G
just up and fade away
== Chorus ==
C
He's an old hippie
G
and he don't know what to do
D7
should hang on to the old
G
should he grab on to the new
C
he's an old hippie
G
his new life is just a bust
D7
he ain't trying to change nobody
C D7 G
he just trying real hard to adjust
