Harry Hippie Chords by Bobby Womack

_ _ [E] _ _ _ Everybody claims [C#m] that they want the best things out of life, _ [A] _ but not everyone, not [B] everyone
want to go through the tallest rise.
[E] _ _ _ _ [C#m]
I like this particular fella who walks around all [A] day long singing,
_ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ [E] Shalalalalala, Harry [C#m] Hippie, lies asleep in the shade.
[A] _ Life don't bug [B] him, cause he thinks he's got it made.
_ [E] _ _ He [G#m] never worry about nothing in particular.
[A] Ooh, he might even [B] sell [G#] free-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 [B] ground.
She's [E] like a bottle of water, _ [A]
Harry, just a flow, [E] flow line.
Walks [C#m] around all day long singing this song.
[A] Oh, _ _ _ [B] _
yeah, _ [E] _ Mary Hippie, [C#m] _
she's Harry's lady.
[A] _ Poundin' down those pennies [B] just to feed Harry's baby.
[E] _ She can write on a [G#m] story, so incredible.
[A] _ Man, you want to help a [B] woman, put it on her [G#] tail.
_ [C#m] I'd like to help a man [G#m]
when he's down,
_ [C#m] but 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 [F#m] much weight to carry [E] around.
_ [B] But he still [F#m] walks around all day long singing this [E] song.
Sha-la-la, [C#m]
sha-la-la, _ [A] sha-la-la-la [B]-la-la-la-la-la.
_ [E] Sweet child, sweet [C#m] child, tell me where will you be going?
[A] _ Oh, [E] when the [B] sun gets warm and the stars are glowing,
[E] _ will you hang around L.A. [G#m] _
or hitch a ride on a [A] freeway?
Meet an old [B] familiar face at a [G#] new place.
[C#m] I'd like to help a man [G#m] when he's down,
_ [C#m] but how can I help him [G#m] if he's somewhere [B] out of time?
_ [E] _ [G#m] Sorry, Harry, _ [E] think I'm gonna put you down.
Sha-la-la, [C#m] sha-la-la, _ [A] _ sha-la-la-la [B]-la-la-la-la.
Everybody [E] help me sing this song!
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
