[B]
He turned 45 last Sunday, [E] in his hair he found [B] some gray
But he still ain't changed his lifestyle, likes it better the [F#] old way
So [E] he grows a little garden in [B] the backyard by the fence
He's [E] consuming what he's growing [B] nowadays in self [F#]-defense
He gets [B] out there in the twilight zone [E] sometimes, but it just don't make [B] no sense
Well he gets off on country music, [E] calls disco and [B] disco
He's got a young friend in the new wave, but he's just too friggin' [F#] old
And [E] he dreams at night of what's dark [B] and the day John Lennon died
[E] How the music made him happy, [B] and the silence made him [F#] cry
Yeah [B] he thinks of John sometimes, [E] and he has to wonder [B] why

[B]

And they sent him off to Vietnam on his [F#] senior trip
[F] And [E] they forced him to become a man [B] while he was still a boy
[E] And behind each wave of [B] tragedy he [F#] waited for the joke
Now [B] this world may change [F#] around him, [E] but he just can't [B] change no more
Yeah [E] he's an old hippie [B] and he don't know what to do
[F#] Should he hang on to the old, should [B] he grab on to the new

But he [F#] ain't trying to change nobody, [E] he's just [B] trying [F#] real hard to
[B] Well he stays away a lot now, [E] from the parties and the [B] clubs
And he's thinking while he's jogging around, sure he's glad he [F#] quit the hard drugs
Cause
[E] him and his kind get [B] more endangered every day
[E] And pretty soon the species [B] will just up and [F#] fade away
[B] Like the smoke from that torpedo, [E] just up and fade [B] away
