Old Hippie- Bellamy Brothers- Lyrics Chords

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ He turned 35 last Sunday, _ [E] and his hair he found some [B] gray.
_ _ _ _ _ But he still ain't changed his [F#] lifestyle, he likes it better the [F#] old way.
_ _ _ _ So he [E] grows a little garden in the [B] backyard by the fence.
He's [E] consuming what he's growing, [B] nowadays in self [F#]-defense.
He [B] gets out there in the twilight zone [E] sometimes, when it just don't make [B] no sense.
_ _ _ _ He gets off on country music, [E] _ cause disco left [B] him cold.
_ _ _ _ And he's got young friends and a new wave, _ but he's just [F#] too friggin' old.
_ _ _ _ _ And [E] he dreams at night of Woodstock and the day [F#] John Lennon died.
[E] And the music made him happy, [B] and the silence made him cry.
Yeah, he thinks of John sometimes, [E] _ and he has to wonder [B] why.
_ _ _ _ Cause [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, and his [B] new life is just a bust.
He [F#] ain't trying to change nobody, he's [E] just trying real hard to [B] adjust.
_ _ _ _ He was sure back in the 60s [E] that everyone [B] was hip.
_ _ _ _ _ Then they sent him off to Vietnam _ on [F#] his senior trip.
_ _ _ _ And [E] they forced him to become a man [B] while he was still a boy.
And [E] behind each wave of tragedy, [B] he waited for [F#] the joy.
[B] Now this world may change around him, [E] _ but he just can't [B] change no more.
_ _ _ _ Cause [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, and [B] his new life is just a bust.
He [F#] ain't trying to change nobody, [E] he's just trying real hard [B] to adjust. _ _ _ _ _
Well, he stays away in lockdown _ [E] _ from the parties and [B] the clubs. _ _ _ _ _
And he's thinking while he's jogging around,
sure he's glad he [F#] quit the hard drugs. _ _ _ _
[E] Cause him and his kind get [B] more endangered every day.
[E] And pretty soon the species [B] will just up and fade away.
Like the smoke from that torpedo, _ [E] _ just up and [B] fade away.
_ _ _ _ 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, and his [B] new life is just a [F#] bust.
He ain't trying to change nobody, he's [E] just trying real hard [B] to adjust.
_ _ _ _ Yeah, he [F#] ain't trying to change nobody, he's [E] just trying real hard to [B] adjust. _ _ _ _ _ _
