Hippie Dream

Neil Young

Dm Am Dm G x 2

Dm Am Take my advice

Dm G Don't listen to me

Dm Am It ain't paradise

Dm G But it used to be

Dm Am There was a time

Dm G When the river was wide

Dm Am And the water came running down

Dm G To the rising tide

G But the wooden ships

G Were just a hippie dream

G Just a hippie dream.

Dm Am Dm G x 2

Dm Am Don't bat an eye

Dm G Don't waste a word

Dm Am Don't mention nothin'

Dm G That could go unheard

Dm Am 'Cause the tie-dye sails

Dm G Are the screamin' sheets

Dm Am And the dusty trail

Dm G Leads to blood in the streets

G But the wooden ships

G Were just a hippie dream

G Capsized in excess If you know what I mean

Dm Am Dm G x 4

A Just because it's over for you

G Don't mean it's over for me

A It's a victory for the heart Every time the music starts

G So please don't kill the machine

G Don't kill the machine

Bm Don't kill the machine don't kill the machine

G Don't kill the machine don't kill the machine

Bm Don't kill the machine don't kill the machine

G Don't kill the machine

A Another flower child goes to seed

G In an ether-filled room of meat hooks

Bm It's so ugly

G So ugly

Dm Am Dm G jam
