_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ He turned 35 last Sunday [E] _ and his hair he [B] found some gray _ _ _ _ _
But he still ain't changed his [F#] lifestyle, he likes it better the old way
_ _ _ So [E] he grows a little garden [B] and a backyard by the fence
[E] He's consuming what he's growing, [B] nowadays in [F#] self-defense
He [B] gets out there in the twilight [E] zone sometimes when it just don't [B] make no sense
_ _ _ He gets off on country music, [E] _ calls disco [B] left him cold _ _ _ _ _
He's got young friends and a new wave, but he's [F#] just too freakin' old
And _ _ _ [E] he dreams at night of [B] Woodstock and the day John Lennon died
[E] And the music made him happy [B] and the silence [F#] made him cry
[B] Yeah he thinks of John [E] sometimes and he has to [B] wonder why _ _ _ _ _
[E] He's an old hippie [B] and he don't know what to do
[F#] Should he hang on to the old, [B] should he grab on to the new
[E] He's an old hippie, [B] this new life is just a bust
[F#] He ain't trying to change nobody, he's just trying real hard [B] to adjust
_ _ _ _ He was sure back in the 60's [E] _ that everyone [B] was hippie
Then _ _ _ they sent him off to [F#] Vietnam _ _ on his senior trip _ _ _ _ _
[E] And they forced him to become a [B] man while he was still a boy
[E] And behind each wave of tragedy [B] he waited [F#] for the joy
[B] Now this world may change around him, [E] _ but he just can't [B] change no more
Cause _ _ _ [E] he's an old hippie [B] and he don't know what to do
[F#] Should he hang on to the old, [B] should he grab on to the new
[E] He's an old hippie, [B] this new life is just a bust
[F#] He ain't trying to change nobody, he's just trying real hard [B] to adjust
_ _ _ _ Well he stays away a lot now [E] _ from the parties and [B] the clubs _ _ _ _ _
And he's thinking while he's jogging around, [F#] sure he's glad he quit the hard drugs _ _ _ _
[E] Cause him and his kind get [B] more endangered every day
[E] And pretty soon the species [B] will just up and [F#] fade away
[B] Like the smoke from that torpedo, _ [E] _ just up and [B] fade away
_ _ _ _ Yeah [E] he's an old hippie [B] and he don't know what to do
Should [F#] he hang on to the old, should [B] he grab on to the new
[E] He's an old hippie, this [B] new life is just a bust
He [F#] ain't trying to change nobody, he's [E] just trying real hard to [B] adjust
_ _ _ _ Yeah he [F#] ain't trying to change nobody, he's just trying real hard to [B] adjust _ _ _ _ _ _ _
