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 candleGlight
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-Gout
Chorus
