In 1969 I believed in hippies forever _ _ _ _ _ _
In the land of sky blue waters I would build my A-frame cabin
With a garden _ _ _
Living with Sophia Earthing, Mama making positive _ vibrations _ _ _ _
Raise a golden child and launch the never-ending hippie nation _ _ _ _
[D] I tried and I tried and I tried [A] and I tried [D] so [G] hard
[D] I _ [A] _ _
[D] wandered this land with my home [A] in my hand, [D] seeking [G] hippie [D] mountain
_ [A] _
But hippie nations slipped away, left me with a headache on a cold winter morning
I _ got a job, bought new clothes, put my hippie dreams into a jar _ _ _ _
But now _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ hippie children, [G] _ [A] they're [D] everywhere
Hippie [G] children, [A] love everyone
[D] _ Hippie children, come on, come [A] on, come on, come [D] on, come on Hippie [G] children
_ [A] All [D] over [G] this world [D] little children [A] are learning [D] to take care [G] of their [D] mother
_ [A] From [D] every [G] junior high [D] under hose [A] in the sky [D] there are young [G] fingers singing
[D] _ _ [A] _
[D] And out of [G] this foolish [D] vacation [A] from learning [D] make a new [G] hippie nation
[D] _ _ [A] _ _
[D] Peace and love and little girls who talk about ecology and working _ together _ _ _
Inner city college kids thinking about someone besides themselves _ _ _ _
And now _ [D] _ _ [B] _ _

Now is the time for all good hippies to come to the aid of the planet _
Our numbers are small like the raindrops uniting the four mighty rivers
_ It's the hour of decision to live or to die by our own mighty visions
_ And the only pragmatic solution are dreams about love
_ _ _ [G] Well, [A] well, hippie children, _ [A] they're [D] everywhere
