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