The song is in standard tuning. This is from a dutch band so I'm not
INTRO
  E    G    E   G(4 times)
VERSE
EI was walking down the road with a Gneed to score
She Elooked real cute what I'm Gwaiting for
Well it Etook me just a couple of Ghours
But then we got Ehome and showered in Gflowers
Well you're Elooking at me and you Gain't so bad
EThinking about the peace that Gwe could have had
EThis doesn't Gseem to fit we're Erebels with a Gclit
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   GFG
GI'm on my way back home
GRidin' out of the danger zone
GTrippin' over everything that is high
SOLO (just play E G 16 times)
2nd CHORUS (4 times)
EWe breathe and we breathe but we don't know what we're Gbreathing
So I don't know what we're Etalking about
CHORUS
