Chords for BELLAMY BROTHERS - OLD HIPPIE (LIVE)

Good [A] afternoon to you.
[G] My name is David from Howard, Roosevelt and me brothers.
Everybody okay?
_ Yeah.
I [A#] _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ want to hear how the old hippies are hanging out at the jamboree today. _ _
_ He turned 35 last Sunday
[E]
in his Harry Thousand [B] gray. _ _ _ _
_ But he still ain't changed his lifestyle.
He likes it better [F#] the old way. _ _ _
_ So [E] he grows a little garden
in the backyard by the fence.
He's [E] consuming what he's growing
nowadays [B] in [F#] self-defense.
He gets out there in the twilight zone [E] sometimes
when it just don't make [B] no sense. _ _
_ _ But he gets off on country music _
[E] _ cause disco left [B] him cold. _ _
_ _ But he's got young friends in a new way
_ but he's just too [F#] friggin' old. _ _ _
_ _ And [E] he dreams at night of Woodstock
[B] and the day John Lennon died.
[E] How the music made him happy
[B] and the silence made him cry.
Yeah he thinks of John [E] sometimes
and he has to [B] wonder why. _ _ _
_ _ Yeah [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
this [B] new life is to save.
He [F#] ain't trying to save nobody.
He's [E] just trying real hard to tease. _ _ _
_ _ Well he was sure back in the 60s
_ that everyone [B] was hip. _ _
_ _ And then they sent him off to Vietnam
_ on his [F#] 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 for the joy.
Now this world may change around him
[E] but he just can't [B] change no more. _
_ _ _ [E] Yeah he's an old hippie
[B] and he don't know what to do.
Should he [F#] hang on to the old?
[B] Should he grab on to the new?
[E] He's an old hippie
[B] this new life is to save.
[F#] He ain't trying to save nobody.
[E] He's just trying real hard [B] to tease. _ _
_ _ Well he stays away a lot now
[E] _ from the parties and [B] the clubs. _ _
_ _ _ And he's thinking while he's jogging around
sure is glad he [F#] quit the hard drugs. _
_ _ _ [E] Does 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 fade [B] 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 to save.
He [F#] ain't trying to save nobody.
He's just trying real hard to [B] tease. _ _ _
