Old Hippie 10 years later [G]

Old Hippie 10 years later - Bellamy Brothers

[Verse 1]
[G] He'll be 45 come Wednesday, [C] his gray hair is getting [G] thin,
But he still has hanging in there, don't feel too [C] bad for the [D] shape he's in,
He's seen [C] yuppies in the white house, but he [G] thinks their gonna fail,
But he [C] just don't trust a President, that [G] never has [D] inhaled.
And he [Bm] prays to God to stop this crime, [C] but it seems to no [G] avail.

[Verse 2]
[G] Well he still loves country music, [C] but he's been left out in the [G] dark,
Cause they don't play Merle and George no more, he don't know [C] Billy Ray from [D] Garth,
And he's [C] heard of Woodstock too but he [G] never could compete,
But he was [C] there the day the Hendricks played the [G] Anthem with his [D] teeth,
Back when [Bm] all those grunge bands couldn't [C] even keep a [G] beat.

|[Chorus]
|He's an [C] old Hippie, even [G] older than before,
|Wondering [D] what to pay attention to and [G] what should be ignored,
|He's an [C] old hippie, still [G] adjusting to the change,
|He's just [D] trying to find some balance, in a [C] world, gone [D] totally [G] insane.

[Verse 3]
[G] He still thinks back on the sixties, [C] but not in the same [G] way,
They built a wall to his war, then for[C]got the [D] MIA,
And he's [C] trying to be a nineties man but it's [G] too much of a bore,
Those [C] fax machines and cell phones ain't what [G] he was put here [D] for,
And in a [Bm] world selling sex and music, [C] he's a last old dino[G]saur.

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
[G] Well he comes on home from work now, [C] takes some time up with the [G] kids,
Try to teach them right from wrong, hope they don't learn it [C] the way that he [D] did,
And his [C] eyes are on the future but it's [G] looking pretty sad,
And with [C] every day that passes he [G] becomes more like his [D] Dad,
He [Bm] hopes that when this century turns around, [C] things won't be so [G] bad.

[Outro]
He's just [D] trying to find some balance, in a [C] world, gone [D] totally [G] insane.
