What's Your Favorite 'hippie' Song? Yes, I admit it, I like quite a bit of 'hippie music' from the '60s;even though I have very little in common with that 'subculture/movement' (past, present, future); but I'm one of the first to admit that esp. back in the '60s there were a whole lot of GOOD! musicians involved in it. I'm not really sure what my personal favorite hippie song is, but I've really been getting into this song "Bluebird" by "Buffalo Springfield" the past few days. Of course, B. Springfield ultimately resulted in "Crosby, Stills, & Nash;" who were arguably the #1 hippie band of all time...I love C. S. N. music, BTW
...it's good music for sitting down with acoustic-guitars and singing.
Bluebird (with chords and all! hehe):D
G G/B D
Listen to my bluebird laugh
G G/B D
She can't tell you why
G G/B D
Deep within her heart you see
C G/B D C G/B D C G/B D
She knows only cryin', just cryin', yeah
There she sits, a lofty perch
Strangest color blue
Flying is forgotten now
She thinks only of you, just you, awww
D
So get all those blues, must be a thousand hues
C G/B
And each is differently used, you just know
D
You sit there mesmorized by the depth of her eyes
C G/B
If you could catagorize, she got soul
C G/B C G/B D
She got soul, she got soul, she got soul
RIFF 1
RIFF 2 (during lyrics)
Do you think she loves you
Do you think at all?
SOLO (stop, RIFF 3, stop again, begin with banjo)
Soon she's going to fly away
Sadness is her own
Fill herself a bath of tears
And go home, and go home
RIFF 1: RIFF 2:
