Old Hippie - The Bellamy Brothers
G He turned thirty-five last Sunday,
C In his hair he found some G gray
But he still ain't changed his lifestyle,
C He likes it better the old D way
So he C grows a little garden
in the back G yard by the fence
He's C consuming what he's growing
nowa G days in self defense
He get's D out there in the twilight zone
Some C times when it just don't make G no sense
G He gets off on country music,
C cause disco left him G cold
He's got young friends into new wave,
C buts he's just too D 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 D cry
Yea he Bm thinks of John sometimes
and he C has to wonder G why
He's an C old hippie
and he G don't know what to do
should D hang on to the old
should he G grab on to the new
he's an C old hippie
his new G life is just a bust
he ain't D trying to change nobody
he just C trying real D hard to G adjust
G He was sure back in the sixties
C that everyone was G hip
Then they sent him off to Vietnam
C on his senior D 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 D joy
Now this Bm world may change around him
C but he just can't change no G more
He's an C old hippie
and he G don't know what to do
should D hang on to the old
should he G grab on to the new
he's an C old hippie
his new G life is just a bust
he ain't D trying to change nobody
he just C trying real D hard to G adjust
G Well he stays away a lot now
C from the parties and the G clubs
C And he's thinking while he's G 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 C old hippie
and he G don't know what to do
should D hang on to the old
should he G grab on to the new
he's an C old hippie
his new G life is just a bust
he ain't D trying to change nobody
he just C trying real D hard to G adjust
