Hi there, groovy guys, groovy girls!
Peace, love, dope!
Beats, bells, incense, light shows, crash pads and Hare Krishna!
All you groovy freaks, dig it, ride on and power to the people!
Well, he made it to his sixties
[Db] Retirements knocking [Ab] at his door
He sits reflecting on his lifestyle
And the days he's seen [Eb] before
[Db] He remembers that old hot [Ab] brawl he took his first date in
And [Db] that new Rangel-like track [Ab] that made him such [Eb] a hit
He [Ab] gets out there to the car [Db] shows
Wishing he had one [Ab] back again
Well, he still plays the guitar
[Db] Though he'll never [Ab] be a hit
But to his dogs, Fred and Snoopy
He's on top [Eb] of their lists
Yet [Db] he still dreams of studios [Ab] and undiscovered stars
[Db] Hip-hop, hip-hop, rap, and a [Ab] bit may help to heal some [Eb] scars
He thinks of his youth sometimes
[Db] And did he leave a mark?
[Db] He's an old hippie, [Ab] life has lost some of its charm
[Eb] Been replaced by pills and pain and an empty [Ab] broken heart
[Db] He's an old hippie [Ab] and he still does believe
[Eb] When the race is run, he'll see the [Db] sun in that golden [Ab] city
Well, he thinks back to the [Db] nineties
Thought good times would [Ab] never end
Then they sent his boy to the mid-east
On a trip that [Eb] never ends
[Db] Now he wears a flag and his old [Ab] people protest every day
[Db] Say they find it offensive, [Ab] the flag of the USA
[Eb] Can't believe this kind of freedom
[Db] Is why his boy is in that [Ab]
grave
He's an old hippie, [Ab] life has lost some of its charm
[Eb] Been replaced by pills and pain and an empty [Ab] broken heart
[Db] He's an old hippie, [Ab] but he still does believe
[Eb] When the race is run, he'll see the sun [Db] in that golden [Ab] city
Well, he stays at home a lot [Db] now
Few reasons [Ab] to go out
Though his health is slowly slipping
And his body's [Eb] junkier
Cause [Db] he can't afford to gas now or the [Ab] mortgage on his home
[Db] He sees his country slipping and it's gone [Eb] out of control
[Ab] It's just a matter of time [Db] now
That we may be [Ab] shown the goal
Well, [Db] he's an old hippie, [Ab] life has lost some of its charm
[Eb] Been replaced by pills and pain and an empty [Ab] broken heart
[Db] He's an old hippie, [Ab] but he still does believe
[Eb] When the race is run, he'll see the sun [Db] in that golden [Ab] city
Yeah, [Eb] he still believes in the Bible [Db] and that Jesus died to [Ab] set him free
[Db]
