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