Verse 1
(D major) (G major) (D major) On
a highway through
the desert (G major) beneath an overpass
Sat two (A major) hikers just watchin' cars go (D major) by
Now one was wearin'
sandles with straggly (G major) matted hair
(A major) Rose colored glasses for his (D major) eyes
Verse 2
Now (D major) the other was a cowboy,
he'd been (G major) down on his luck
Lost his (A major) money at the Tuscon Rodeo
(D major) And he sat beside what remained
of his (G major) trusty pickup truck
And like the (A major) hippie now he's
thumbin' down the road (D major)

Verse 3
(A major) Now some folks don't realize
but (D major) it's a well know fact
(G major) Cowboy's and hip
(A major) pies ain't never got along (D major)
(A major) Now was it just coincidence
or some (D major) weird act of fate
That (G major) brought these two to
(A major) gether on the road? (D major)
Verse 4
Well they sat (D major) there without talking while
the (G major) morning sun rose high
When a hot (A major) desert breeze
commenced to blow (D major)
And the fragrance of the incense
and six (G major) weeks without a bath
Finally (A major) drifted down and
reached the cowboy's (D major) nose
Verse 5
(A major) Well, man that really did it,
(D major) he couldn't take no more
And he tied (G major) his old bandana
(A major) 'round his face (D major)
Said, "You (A major) greasy stinking hippie
you'd (D major) put a skunk to shame
(G major) Boy, you're a (A major) discrace to the
human (D major) race"
Verse 6
Now (D major) the hippie,
he just sat there and gave the (G major) cowboy a smile
Said, (A major) "Man, you don't smell so
sweet your (D major) self
Well, I'm not too sure what that
green stuff is (G major) on your boots
And on your jeans but (A major) whew,
it's enough to make a buzzard belch"
(D major) (G major) (D major)
Verse 7
The (A major) cowboy said, "Now listen,
I ain't gonna (D major) that that stuff from you
No (G major) long haired freak's gonna (A major) talk to me that way, (D major)
get up"
Well, the (A major) hippie said, "Now hold on man,
what (D major) good's that gonna do?
You know (G major) fighting never settles
(A major) nothing anyway" (D major)
Verse 8
Said, "You (D major) know man, in a lot of ways,
we're (G major) an awful lot alike
(A major) Once you get down beneath the skin (D major)
Like two books with different covers
but the same (G major) words inside
(A major) We're both brothers of the wind" (D major)
Verse 9
"Now we (A major) both love our freedom
and we'll (D major) answer to no man
And you've (G major) heard it said
to thine (A major) own self be true (D major)
We're (A major) just a couple of free spirts
(D major) drifting across the land
Do (G major) ing exactly what (A major) we want to do" (D major)
Verse 10
Said, "Now (D major) me I got my thing and (G major) you,
you got yours
And (A major) I don't see why we
can't get along (D major)
They say the closest thing to freedom
(G major) is livin' on the road
In a coun (A major) try where freedom's
almost gone" (D major)
Verse 11
Well (D major) the cowboy,
he just stood there (G major) and never said a word
But you (A major) know this hippie sure
made a lot of sense (D major)
Well, they shook hands and parted
as a truck (G major) pulled to the side
And the hip (A major) pie,
he went east and I went west (D major)
(G major) (D major)
