Hippie Radio Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][Am][C][G][Am][F][C][G][Am][F]
[C]

[Verse 1]
[C]My daddy
had a Pontiac on [F]the beiger side of yellow
[C]He [G]was a young man[Am] then
and I [F]was a little [C]fella
I'd play in that bench back seat and listen
[F]to the songs get sun[C]g
He couldn't [G]carry a tun[Am]e in a bucket
but he'd [F]sing at the [G]top of his [C]lungs

[Verse 2]
[C]Carry On [G]My Way[Am]ward Son
on the [F]hippie [C]radio
Songs about the [Am]flower babies
and the [G]birth of rock and roll
And [C]I was a [G]band,
[Am]I would stand and we'd bou[F]nce down the[C] road
A boy [G]and his dad in a Pon
[Am]tiac with that [F]hippie radio
[G][C]

[Interlude 1]
[Am][F][C]

[Verse 3]
Can't' remember if it was [C]seventeen,
[F]maybe eighteen [C]is right
But I'll never forget [G]those [Am]baby blues
and the [F]glow of that dashboard [C]light
I'd won her heart the week before
and it was [F]hot right from [C]the start
I busted [G]her brother Billy's [Am]mouth
for [F]makin' fun of my [C]car

[Verse 4]
And it was [C]White Wedding and
[Am]Rebel Yell on the [F]hippie [C]radio
I was a Werewolf in London,
[Am]and she was Lady[G] Marmalade's soul
And [C]I'd crank the [G]band,
[Am]take her hand and we'd [F]pull off back a road
[C]A boy a[G]nd his girl in a Pont[Am]iac,
and the [F]hippie [G]radio

[Interlude 2]
[C][Am][F][C][G][Am][F]
[C]

[Verse 5]
Four years [C]and seven days from
tying [F]cans to [C]the bumper
I was [G]pa cing a ma[Am]ternity floor,
my flower [F]baby was a [C]mother
My hands were shaking as we were leaving,
taking [F]our boy [C]home
My heart was [G]full and in [Am]my head I could h[F]ear a long,
long song
[C]

[Verse 6]
Cat's in the [G]cradle and the sil[Am]ver
spoon on the [F]hippie [C]radio
A-B-C, 1-2-3,
[Am]don't don't [G]blink or he'll be gone
And [C]I took her [G]hand and [Am]she just smiled
with a [F]look that said "I [C]know"
A boy and his dad,
and a boy [Am]and his girl in a [F]Pontiac[G]

[Outro 1]
And the hippie radio
[C][Am][F]
