[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ He turned 35 last Sunday [E] and his hair he found [B] some gray
_ But _ _ he still ain't changed his lifestyle
He likes it [F#] better the old way
So _ _ he [E] grows a little garden in [B] the 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
_ _ _ _ And he gets off on country music
[E] _ Calls disco left [B] him cold
_ _ _ _ And he's got a young friends in a new way

And _ _ _ _ [E] he dreams at night of what's stuck [B] and the day John Lennon died
[E] How the music made him happy [B] and the silence [F#] made him cry.
[B] Yeah, he thinks of John sometimes
[E] And he has to [B] wonder why?
_ _ _ _ She's [E] an old
Hippie [B] and I don't know what to do.
[F#] Should he hang on to the old should [B] he grab on to the new?
[E] He's an old
Hippie this [B] new life is just a bus.
He [F#] ain't trying to change nobody.
He's [E] just trying [C#m] real [A#] hard to [B] adjust
_ _ _ _ He was sure back in the 60s
[E] _ That everyone [B] was here
_ _ _ _ _ Then they sent him off to Vietnam
_ on his [F#] 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 now [B] this world may change around him, [E] _ but he just can't [B] change no more _ _ _ _ _

And he's thinking while he's jogging around
So if the lady [F#] quit the hard drug _ _ _ _
[E] Lost him and his kind get [B] more endangered every day
[E] And pretty soon the species [B] will just up and [F#] fade away [B] like the smoke from that torpedo
