B                                                                                      E                                                                 B  
He turned thirty-five last Sunday in his hair he found some gray
                                                                                                                                                                          F#  
But he still ain't changed his lifestyle he likes it better the old way
                E                                                                                      B  
So he grows a little garden in the back yard by the fence
                     E                                                                              B                                    F#  
He's consuming what he's growing now-a days in self defense
        B  
He gets out there in the twilight zone
          E                                                                                    B  
Sometimes when it just don't make no sense
                                                                             E                                                    B  
He gets off on country music cause disco left him cold
                                                                                                                                                                F#  
He's got young friends in a new wave but he's just too damn old
                     E                                                                                         B  
And he dreams at night of Woodstock and the day John Lennon died
                     E                                                                              B                                    F#  
How the music made him happy and the silence made him cry
                     B                                                              E                                                    B  
Yeah he thinks of John sometimes and he has to wonder why
                     E                                            B  
He's an old hippie and he don't know what to do
                          F#                                                                      B  
Should he hang on to the old should he grab on to the new
                     E                                                                    B  
He's an old hippie his new life is just a bust
                        F#                                                                              E                            F#              B  
He ain't trying to change nobody he just trying real hard to adjust
                                                                E                                                                 B  
He was sure back in the sixties that everyone was hip
                                                                                                                                F#  
Then they sent him off to Vietnam on his senior trip
                     E                                                                                      B  
And they forced him to become a man while he was still a boy
             E                                                                              B                                    F#  
And behind each wave of tragedy he waited for the joy
                        B                                                                    E                                                                      B  
Now this world may change around him but he just can't change no more
                                                                             E                                                                 B  
Well he stays away a lot now from the parties and the clubs
And he's thinking while he's jogging around
                                                                                F#  
Sure is glad he quit the hard drugs
                E                                                                      B  
Cause him and his kind get more endangered everyday
          E                                                                         B                                         F#  
And pretty soon the species will just up and fade away
                        B                                                            E                                         B  
Like the smoke from that torpedo just up and fade away
