Old Hippie 20 years later Bellamy Bros
[Verse 1]
G G C C G G G G
He'll be fifty five this weekend, can't believe he's lived this long,
G G G G D D D D
But now he hangs out with the grand-kids, instead of toking on his bone,
C C G G
He still thinks about the crazy days but thanks his God above,
C C G D
That he traded in the loving for a greater kind of love,
G G C C G G G G
He still shoots from that old peace sign, still gentle as a dove.
[Verse 2]
G G C C G G G G
He loves all kinds of music, country rock with a little roll,
G G G G D D D D
But nowadays he's partial too, the melodies that saved his soul,
C C G G
Life has put him through the wringer, friends have fallen through the cracks,
C C G D
And all the trips he's taken, have been to hell and back,
G G C C G G G G
He don't feel that cool no more, but he don't care and that's a fact.
[Chorus]
C C G G
He's an old... hippie, getting older every day,
D D G G
But his eyes are on the prize, and his faith ain't gonna stray,
C C G G
He's an old... hippie he knows what his life is for,
D D C D G G G G
Trying to get right with the man before he goes, knocking on heavens door.
[Verse 3]
G G C C G G G G
He's been confused about the issues, from Vietnam to Desert Storm,
G G G G D D D D
But he prays every night for, the guys and gals in uniform,
C C G G
He ain't trying to convert you, just glad for your new start,
C C G D
And he won't be preaching to you, like some born again old fart,
G G C C G G G G
He'll just tell you about the love he's found, deep within his heart.
[Chorus]
C C G G
He's an old... hippie, getting older every day,
D D G G
But his eyes are on the prize, and his faith ain't gonna stray,
C C G G
He's an old... hippie he knows what his life is for,
D D C D G G G G
Trying to get right with the man before he goes, knocking on heavens door.
[Verse 4]
G G C C G G G G
Well he skips the crowds and the gatherings, Spends some quiet time alone,
G G G G D D D D
His family is his universe, and heaven is his home,
C C G G
He's seen and done it all been in the belly of the whale,
C C G D
He's looked the devil in the eye, and sent him back to hell,
