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