Harry Hippie Chords by Bobby Womack

_ [E] _ _ _ Everybody claims that they want the best things out of life, _ [A] _ but not everyone, not [B] everyone want to go [C#m] through the tall [B] strides.
[E] _ _ _ _ _
Like this particular fella walks around all [A] day long singing,
Shine a light [B] on _
_ [E] _ _ Harry [C#m] Hippie, lies asleep in his shade.
[A] _ Life don't bug [B] him, cause he thinks he's not in bed.
_ [E] _ _ _ He never [G#m] worry about nothing in particular.
[A] Ooh, he might even [B] set off, [G#] free press on sunset.
[C#m] _ I like the hippie [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.
[F#m] [E] He's like a bottle of [G#m] water, _ [A] [E] Harry [F#m] just float [E] through life.
Walks around all day long [C#m] singing this song.
[A] Oh yeah, _ [B] _ _
_ [A] _ [E] _ Mary Hippie, [C#m] _
she's Harry's lady.
[A] _ Panama's Venice, [B] just to feed Harry's [F#m] baby.
[E] _ She can lie down [G#m] slowly, so incredible.
[A] _ Man, you want to help a [B] woman, put it on the [G#] table.
_ [C#m] _ 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] _ [G#m] Sorry, Harry, [A] oh, [E] you're too much [F#m] weight to carry [E] around.
But [F#m] he still walks around all day long singing this song.
[E] Sha-la-la-la-la-la, sha [C#m]-la-la-la-la-la-la, [A] sha-la-la-la-la-la [B]-la-la.
_ [F#m] [E] Sweet child, sweet [C#m] child, show me where will you be going?
[A] _ But old Harry [B] gets his horn and starts [F#m] blowing.
[E] _ Will you hang around early [B] or [G#m]
hitch a ride on the freeway?
[A] _ Meet an old familiar [B] face at a [G#] new place.
_ [C#m] Help a man [G#m] when he's down.
_ [C#m] _ But how can I help him if [G#m] he's somewhere [B] out of town?
_ [E] _ [G#m] Sorry, Harry, _ [A] [E] think I'm [F#m] gonna break [E] you down.
Sha-la-la-la [C#m]-la, sha-la-la-la-la-la, [A] _ sha-la-la-la-la [B]-la-la-la.
[F#m] Everybody [E] help me sing this song!
