INTRO
E G E G (4 times)
VERSE
E G
I was walking down the road with a need to score
E G
She looked real cute what I'm waiting for
E G
Well it took me just a couple of hours
E G
But then we got home and showered in flowers
E G
Well you're looking at me and you ain't so bad
E G
Thinking about the peace that we could have had
E G E G
This doesn't seem to fit we're rebels with a clit
CHORUS (4 times)
B# B A B
We're all hippies
2nd VERSE
Well I'm moving high I'm tripping low
I don't know what I'm talking about
But the feeling is right and it must be soul
A deeper sight makes the rebel lonely
Acid in vain makes the fun real phoney
When you gonna say love shines
Light up your face and I wanna
Try the peace of your love
CHORUS
BRIDGE
E G E G FG

I'm on my way back home
G
Ridin' out of the danger zone
G
Trippin' over everything that is high

2nd CHORUS (4 times)
E G
We breathe and we breathe but we don't know what we're breathing
E
So I don't know what we're talking about
