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