          A                            D                  A 
Well it?s that time of the year again, everybody?s runnin ?round 
A                                                 E 
Decoratin? everything before the fat man comes to town 
D                             A 
Meanwhile at the commune he?s getting? ready too 
     D                            A                   E 
He?s Tie Dye and T-shirts, makin? love beads just for you 
     A                            D                   A 
He?s trimmin? up his favorite tree and tokin? what he grew 
 
 
Well he?s got the 8-track blastin? inscence burns by candlelight 
Gene Autry?s singin Rudolph, the Grateful Dead do Silent Night 
And he?s seen the evening news and the prospects still look dim 
But solutions for the planet he knows start right here with him 
So he?ll visualize this sacred night in a world that ain?t out on a limb 
 
             D                     A 
Yeah it?s an old hippie Christmas, weather?s cold and hearts are warm 
E                           A              
Momma smokes a turkey while Daddy smokes a bong 
        D                    A 
It?s an old hippie Christmas full of yule time fun 
      E                                D D/C#  D/B D/A   A  
Jesus must?ve been a hippie, peace and love to every     one 

Well the kids makes up their wish list, Sunshine wants the A-bomb banned 
Rainbow wants to go to ?Frisco in an old Volkswagen van 
And the black lights and the lava lamps are flashin? all about 
And Santa in his sandals leaves us little doubt 
That Christmas time is almost here and it?s gonna be far out 
 
Chorus
