A Call To Arms For Hippies Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

GIt's the year 2009

 And weD are living in dangerous times

EmWe should learn from the hippies, and why the movement failed:

 Hippies don'tC run for government and politicians don't Dinhale. G

GA long time ago in a time calDled the 60's,

EmPeople thought pop music was going to changCe the world.D G

GThey said things like 'All you need is love',

DTook the pregnancy pill, and whatever else they could get hold of,

EmBob Dylan went electric, Sgt Peppers was a hit

 And peoCple realised they could change the worlDd if they gave a shit! G

EmBut people got jaded when Vietnam was iDnvaded,

 And JiGmi, Janis Dand MorrisoEmn assasinated

 By the C.I.CA.

 That wasD the day

 The music died G

GTake me back to 1969

DWhen changing the world meant a corny line

 Like 'LEmove Is You Need'

Or smoking an ounce of weed

 Or tCaking LSD at DWoodstGock

GNow it's the year 2009

DAnd again we're living in dangerous times

 We should learn Emfrom the hippies, and why the movement failed:

 Hippies don'Ct run for government and politicians don't Dinhale. G

 Now its forGty years later.

DThings have been greater.

 The seEmxual revolution left a fishy taste

 Of teeCnage pregnancies in council estateDs. G

 And we've still got waGr.

 We've still got Dfamine.

 AEms opposed to getting out your head to The Grateful Dead

CPeople do it now listening to Radiohead inDstead. G

EmBut everyone’s still jaded.

 Now Iraq's beenD invaded.

 The GaGza strip's in Israel'sD grip,

 Even SyrEmia has been raided.

 Still we towC the line,

 Maybe nowD's the time

 To bring the musicC back to Dlife. G

GTake me back to 1969

DWhen changing the world meant a corny line

 Like 'LEmove Is You Need'

Or smoking an ounce of weed

 Or tCaking LSD at DWoodstGock

GNow it's the year 2009

DAnd again we're living in dangerous times

 We should learn Emfrom the hippies, and why the movement failed:

 Hippies don'Ct run for government and politicians don't Dinhale. G

 Now everyone’Ems still jaded.

 And the hippDies have all traded

 Free love in for aG stable job anDd like their bell bottoms they've Emfaded

 How did it go tChis far.

 Remember who yoDu are,

 And give the music CC.P.R. D G

GTake me back to 1969

DWhen changing the world meant a corny line

 Like 'LEmove Is You Need'

Or smoking an ounce of weed

 Or tCaking LSDD at WGoodstock

GNow it's the year 2009

DAnd again we're living in dangerous times

 We should learn Emfrom the hippies, and why the movement failed:

 Hippies don'Ct run for government and politicians (ExecpDt Barack Obama that one time in

 college) don't inhale. G
