Old Hippie Christmas

[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
