[Verse 1]
         D                     Em
I'm a pompadour hippie with a lot on my mind
         A                           G                  D
And the way things are going make me mad from time to time
D                              Em
Just like a singing bird, I’m singing my songs
        A
And I preach the word of love
  G             D
Wherever I may roam
D                        G
I don't need to tell you what's wrong or right
 A                                G                  D
But I can’t ignore what's bugging me and just step aside
D                              G
I don't take advantage of the role that I play
A
Do you get what I'm saying?
    G               D
We can't just walk away


[Pre-Chorus]
D                     G                                                                           D
So, please stop the hatred, violence, pollution, corruption, destruction, ignorance, conquer and divide
D             G
And stop the racism bullshit, cutting of the forests, the nuclear rubbish,
N.C.
the greed and the hunger, the chemical warfare
                         D                               A
And stop messing with our minds, stop messing with our mind


[Chorus]
       G         A
I'm a Pompadour Hippie
    D              Bm
And I won't step aside
       G            A
No, I won't stop believing
       G             A
No, I won’t stop believing
    G               A                    D
No, I won’t stop believing, we'll change in time
       G         A
I'm a Pompadour Hippie
    D              Bm
And I won't step aside
       G            A
No, I won't stop believing
       G             A
No, I won’t stop believing
    G               A                    D
No, I won’t stop believing, we'll change in time
