Old Hippie Christmas - Bellamy Brothers
[Verse 1]
[G] Well it's that time of year again [C] everybody's runnin' [G] round
Decoratin' everything before the fat man comes to [D] town
[C] Meanwhile at the commune he's [G] getting ready too
He's [C] tye-dying T-shirt making [G] love beads just for [D] you
He's [G] trimming up his favorite tree, [C] and tokin' what he [G] grew
[Verse 2]
[G] Well hes got the eight track blastin' [C] incense burns by candle[G]light
Gene Autry's singin' "Rudolph", The Grateful Dead do "Silent [D] Night"
And he's [C] seen the evening news and the [G] prospects still look dim
But [C] solutions for the planet he knows [G] starts right here with [D] him
So he'll [G] visualize this sacred night a world [C] that ain't out on a [G] limb
|[Chorus]
|Yeah, it's an [C] old hippie Christmas [G] weather's cold and hearts are warm
|[D] Momma's smokes the turkey [G] while daddy smokes a bong
|It's an [C] old hippie Christmas [G] just full of yuletide fun
|Jesus [D] must have been a hippie [C] peace and [D] love to [G] everyone
[Verse 3]
[G] Well the kids make up their wish list, [C] Sunshine wants the A bomb [G] banned
Rainbow, wants to go to 'Frisco in a old Volkswagon [D] van
An the [C] black lights and the lava lamps are [G] flashin' all about
And Santa [C] in his sandals [G] leaves us little [D] doubt
That Christmas [G] time is almost here [C] it's gonna be far-[G]out
[Chorus]
