[Verse 1]
         G        G          C            C               G        G        G        G
He'll be 45 come Wednesday,     his gray hair is getting thin,

           G           G         G                 G            D           D        D        D
But he's still hanging in there,   don't feel too bad for the shape he's in,

           C               C                   G                 G
He's seen yuppies in the white house, but he thinks their gonna fail,

        C                   C              G           D
But he just don't trust a President, that never has inhaled.

         G               G              C          C           G        G        G        G
And he prays to God to stop this crime,   but it seems to no avail.
[Verse]
          G                  G      C                 C               G       G        G        G
Well he still loves country music,     but he's been left out in the dark,

            G                     G              G                 G               D       D       D       D
Cause they don't play Merle and George no more,     he don't know Billy Ray from Garth,

           C                 C           G            G
And he's heard of Woodstock two but he never could compete,

            C                  C                    G               D    
But he was there the day the Hendricks played the Anthem with his teeth,

 G                    G           C           C           G        G        G        G
Back when all those grunge bands,   couldn't even keep a beat.
[Chorus]
         C       C           G            G
He's an old... Hippie, even older than before,

           D             D              G                G
Wondering what to pay attention to and what should be ignored,

         C       C              G               G
He's an old... hippie, still adjusting to the change,

           D                   D              C           D        G        G        G        G
He's just trying to find some balance, in a world, gone totally insane.
[Verse 3]
           G                  G       C       C               G        G        G        G
He still thinks back on the sixties,     but not in the same way,

              G           G      G         G         D        D        D        D
They built a wall to his war,      then forgot the MIA,

          C               C                    G             G
And he's trying to be a nineties man but it's too much of a bore,

       C                C                     G                D
Those fax machines and cell phones ain't what he was put here for,

           G            G              C          C            G        G        G        G
And in a world selling sex and music,     he's a last old dinosaur.
[Chorus]
         C       C           G            G
He's an old... Hippie, even older than before,

           D             D              G                G
Wondering what to pay attention to and what should be ignored,

         C       C              G               G
He's an old... hippie, still adjusting to the change,

           D                   D              C           D        G        G        G        G
He's just trying to find some balance, in a world, gone totally insane.
[Verse 4]
          G                 G         C              C                G        G        G        G
Well he comes on home from work now,     takes some time up with the kids,

 G                 G                 G                    G                   D        D        D        D
Try to teach them right from wrong,     hope they don't learn it the way that he did,

         C               C               G              G
And his eyes are on the future but it's looking pretty sad,

          C               C          G                   D
And with every day that passes he becomes more like his Dad,

               G                  G            C        C                 G        G        G        G
He hopes that when this century turns around,         things won't be so bad.
[Chorus]
         C       C           G            G     
He's an old... Hippie, even older than before,

           D             D              G                G
Wondering what to pay attention to and what should be ignored,

         C       C              G               G
He's an old... hippie, still adjusting to the change,

           D                   D              C           D        G        G        G        G
He's just trying to find some balance, in a world, gone totally insane.
[Outro]
           D                   D              C           D        G        G        G        G
He's just trying to find some balance, in a world, gone totally insane.
