Harry Hippie Chords by Bobby Womack

_ [E] _ _ _ Everybody claims that they want [C#m] the best things out of life, _ [A] _ but not everyone, not everyone
[B] want to go through the [C#m] toils and strives.
[E] _ _ _ _ [C#m]
I like this particular fella who walks around all day long [A] singing,
Shine a [B] light on _ _ _ [E] _ Harry Gimpy.
_ [C#m] _
Lies will sleep in the shade.
[A] _ Life don't bug him, [B] cause he thinks he's not in it.
_ [E] _ _ He never [G#m] worry about nothing in particular.
[A] Ooh, he might even sell [B]
free [G#] press on Sunset.
[C#m] _ I'd like to help a [G#m] man when he's down,
[C#m] _ but I can't help him much [G#m] when he's sleeping on the ground.
[E] She's like a bottle of [G#m] water.
_ [A] _
[F#m] Harry's just a flow, [E] flow line.
Walks around [C#m] all day long singing this song.
[A] Whoa, _ _ _ [B] _
yeah.
_ [E] _ Mary Hippie, [C#m] _
she's Harry's lady.
[A] Pound them loose pennies [B] just to feed Harry's baby.
[E] _ She can lie down on a [G#m] story.
So incredible.
[A] _ Man, you want to have a [B] food arm and put it on a [G#] table.
_ [C#m] _ Help a man [G#m]
when he's down.
[C#m] I can't help you, Harry, [G#m] if you want to sleep on the [B] ground.
_ [E] _ _ Sorry, Harry.
[A] Oh, you're too much weight to carry [E] around.
But _ [F#m] he still walks around all day long singing this [E] song.
Sha la la la [C#m] la, sha la la la la la la,
[A] _ sha la la la la [B] la la la la la la la la la la [F#m] la la la.
[E] Sweet child, sweet [C#m] child,
tell me where will you be [A] going?
Oh, [E] man, [B] if his horn starts blowing,
[E] _ will you hang around L [G#m].A. or hitch a ride on a [A] freeway?
Meet an old [B] familiar face.
[G#] _ _ [C#m] Help a man [G#m] when he's down.
_ [C#m] _ But how can I help him if he's [G#m]
somewhere out of town?
[E] _ Sorry, [G#m] Harry, [A] think I'm going [F#] to put you [E] down.
Sha la la la la, [C#m] sha la la la la la,
_ [A] sha la la la la [B] la la la la la [C#m] la la la.
Everybody [E] help me sing this song. _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
