Old Hippie - Bellamy Brothers

[Verse 1]
[G] He turned thirty-five last Sunday, [C] In his hair he found some [G] gray
But he still ain't changed his lifestyle, He likes it better the old [D] way
So he [C] grows a little garden in the back [G] yard by the fence
He's [C] consuming what he's growing nowa[G]days in self defense [D]
He get's [G] out there in the twilight zone
Some [C] times when it just don't make [G] no sense

[Verse 2]
[G] He gets off on country music, [C] cause disco left him [G] cold
He's got young friends into new wave, buts he's just too friggin [D] old
And he [C] dreams at night of Woodstock and the [G] day John Lennon died
how the [C] music made him happy, and the [G] silence made him [D] cry
Yeah he [G] thinks of John sometimes and he [C] has to wonder [G] why

|[Chorus]
|He's an [C] old hippie, and he [G] don't know what to do
|should he [D] hang on to the old, should he [G] grab on to the new
|he's an [C] old hippie, his new [G] life is just a bust
|he ain't [D] trying to change nobody, he just [C] trying real [D] hard to [G] adjust

[Verse 3]
[G] He was sure back in the sixties [C] that everyone was [G] hip
Then they sent him off to Vietnam on his senior [D] trip
And they [C] force him to become a man while [G] he was still a boy
and in [C] each wave of tragedy he [G] waited for the [D] joy
Now this [G] world may change around him [C] but he just can't change no [G] more

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
[G] Well he stays away a lot now [C] from the parties and the [G] clubs
And he's thinking while he's joggin' 'round Sure is glad he quit the hard [D] drugs
Cause [C] him and his kind get more [G] endangered everyday
[C] And pretty soon the species will just [G] up and fade away [D]
Like the [G] smoke from that torpedo just [C] up and fade [G] away
