Chords

[Verse 1]
A
Well it's that time of the year again

D                    A
Everybody's runnin' 'round
Decorating everything
                            E
Before the fat man comes to town

D
Meanwhile at the commune

     A
He's getting ready too

     D
He's tie-dying T-shirts

       A                   E
Making love-beads just for you

     A                              D
He's trimming up his favorite tree

               A
Tokin' what he grew
[Verse 2]
A
Well, he's got the eight-track blastin'

D                         A
  Incense burns by candle-light
Gene Autry's singin' "Rudolph"
                             E
The Grateful Dead do "Silent Night"

         D
And he's seen the evening news

        A
and the prospects still look dim

      D
But solutions for the planet

         A                     E
He knows start right here with him

         A                           D
So he'll visualize this sacred night

                            A
A world that ain't out on a limb
[Chorus]
              D
Yeah, it's an old hippie Christmas

          A
Weather's cold and hearts are warm

E
Mama smokes the turkey

      A
While Daddy smokes the farm

        D
It's an old hippie Christmas

     A
Just full of yule tide fun

      E
Jesus must've been a hippie

        D       E    A
He sent love to everyone
[Verse 3]
A                                     D
Well the kids make up their wish list

                          A
Sunshine wants the A-bomb banned
Rainbow wants to go to 'Frisco
                     E
In an old Volkswagen van

        D
And the blacklights and the lava lamps

    A
Are flashin' all about

    D
And Santa in his sandles

A                E
Leaves us little doubt

     A                              D
That Christmas time is almost here

                  A
It's gonna be far out
[Chorus]
              D
Yeah, it's an old hippie Christmas

          A
Weather's cold and hearts are warm

E
Mama smokes the turkey

      A
While Daddy smokes the farm

        D
It's an old hippie Christmas

A
Full of yule tide fun

      E
Jesus must've been a hippie

        D       E    A
He sent love to everyone
[Chorus]
              D
Yeah, it's an old hippie Christmas

          A
Weather's cold and hearts are warm

E
Mama smokes the turkey

      A
While Daddy smokes the farm

        D
It's an old hippie Christmas

A
Full of yule tide fun

      E
Jesus must've been a hippie

        D       E    A
He sent love to everyone
