Old Hippie - Bellamy Brothers

[Verse 1]
[G]He turned thirty-five last Sunday, [C]In his hair he found some [G]gray
But he still ain't changed his lifestyle, He likes it better the old [D]way
So he [C]grows a little garden in the back [G]yard by the fence
He's [C]consuming what he's growing nowa[G]days in self defense[D]
He get's [G]out there in the twilight zone
Some [C]times when it just don't make [G]no sense

[Verse 2]
[G]He gets off on country music, [C] cause disco left him [G]cold
He's got young friends into new wave, buts he's just too friggin [D]old
And he [C]dreams at night of Woodstock and the [G]day John Lennon died
how the [C]music made him happy, and the [G]silence made him [D]cry
Yeah he [G]thinks of John sometimes and he [C]has to wonder [G]why

|[Chorus]
|He's an [C]old hippie, and he [G]don't know what to do
|should he [D]hang on to the old, should he [G]grab on to the new
|he's an [C]old hippie, his new [G]life is just a bust
|he ain't [D]trying to change nobody, he just [C]trying real [D]hard to [G]adjust

[Verse 3]
[G]He was sure back in the sixties [C]that everyone was [G]hip
Then they sent him off to Vietnam on his senior [D]trip
And they [C]force him to become a man while [G]he was still a boy
and in [C]each wave of tragedy he [G]waited for the [D]joy
Now this [G]world may change around him [C]but he just can't change no [G]more

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
[G]Well he stays away a lot now [C]from the parties and the [G]clubs
And he's thinking while he's joggin' 'round Sure is glad he quit the hard [D]drugs
Cause [C]him and his kind get more [G]endangered everyday
[C]And pretty soon the species will just [G]up and fade away[D]
Like the [G]smoke from that torpedo just [C]up and fade [G]away
