[G] He turned thirty-five last Sunday [C] in his hair he found some [G] gray
But he still ain't changed his lifestyle he likes it better the [D7] old way
So he [C] grows a little garden in the back [G] yard by the fence
He's con[C]suming what he's growing nowa[G]days in self de[D7]fense
He [G] gets out there in the twilight zone
Some[C]times when it just don't make no [G] sense
{c: }
He gets off on country music [C] cause disco left him [G] cold
He's got young friends in a new wave but he's just too friggin’ [D7] 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 [D7] cry
Yeah he [G] thinks of John sometimes [C] and he has to wonder [G] why
{c: }
He's an [C] old hippie and he [G] don't know what to do
Should he [D7] hang on to the old should he [G] grab on to the new
He's an [C] old hippie his new life is [G] just a bust
He ain't [D7] trying to change nobody he just [C] trying real [D7] hard to [G] adjust
{c: }
He was sure back in the sixties [C] that everyone was [G] hip
Then they sent him off to Vietnam on his senior [D7] trip
And they [C] forced him to become a man while [G] he was still a boy
And be[C]hind each wave of tragedy he [G] waited for the [D7] joy
Now this [G] world may change around him [C] but he just can't change no [G] more
{c: }
He's an [C] old hippie and he [G] don't know what to do
Should he [D7] hang on to the old should he [G] grab on to the new
He's an [C] old hippie his new life is [G] just a bust
He ain't [D7] trying to change nobody he just [C] trying real [D7] hard to [G] adjust
{c: }
Well he stays away a lot now [C] from the parties and the [G] clubs
And he's thinking while he's jogging around
Sure is glad he quit the hard [D7] drugs
Cause [C] him and his kind get more en[G]dangered everyday
And [C] pretty soon the species will [G] just up and fade [D7] away
Like the [G] smoke from that torpedo [C] just up and fade a[G]way
{c: }
Yes he's an [C] old hippie and he [G] don't know what to do
Should he [D7] hang on to the old should he [G] grab on to the new
He's an [C] old hippie his new life is [G] just a bust
He ain't [D7] trying to change nobody he just [C] trying real [D7] hard to [G] adjust
He ain't [D7] trying to change nobody he just [C] trying real [D7] hard to [G] adjust
