Verse
G#
He turned thirty-five last Sunday,
C# G#
In his hair he found some gray
But he still ain't changed his lifestyle,
D#
He likes it better the old way
C#
So he grows a little garden
G#
in the back yard by the fence
C#
He's consuming what he's growing
G# D#
nowadays in self defense
G#
He get's out there in the twilight zone
C# G#
Some times when it just don't make no sense
[Verse 2]
G#
He gets off on country music,
C# G#
cause disco left him cold
He's got young friends into new wave,
D#
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# D#
and the silence made him cry
G#
Yeah 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
D#
should he 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
D#
he ain't trying to change nobody
C# D# G#
he just trying real hard to adjust
[Verse 3]
G#
He was sure back in the sixties
C# G#
that everyone was hip
Then they sent him off to Vietnam
D#
on his senior trip
C#
And they force him to become a man
G#
while he was still a boy
C#
and in each wave of tragedy
G# D#
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
D#
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
D#
he ain't trying to change nobody
C# D# G#
he just trying real hard to adjust
[Verse 4]
G#
Well he stays away a lot now
C# G#
from the parties and the clubs
And he's thinking while he's joggin' 'round
D#
Sure is glad he quit the hard drugs
C# G#
Cause him and his kind get more endangered everyday
C#
And pretty soon the species
G# D#
will just up and fade away
G#
Like the smoke from that torpedo
C# G#
just up and fade away
[Outro]
C#
He's an old hippie
G#
and he don't know what to do
D#
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
D#
he ain't trying to change nobody
C# D# G#
he just trying real hard to adjust
