Intro : Em
Em                             D                     Em
Well I met her in a bar, the men with big guitars were playin
                                            Em                                D          
                  Em
And I listened with my ears but I couldn’t hear what she was sayin
         C                        G
And I guess she talked with her mind
        D                       B
But didn’t want to seem to unkind so I just laughed
C                    G
And kept my eyes peeled to the door
D
Wondering what I was there for

Em

  G5                       E5
But it’s alright, it’s alright
   G5                      B5
It’s alright, it’s alright
        E5           G5          D5            B5*         E5*
I got my nuts from a hippy in a camper van on Saturday night

Same chords as previous verse- here are the lyrics

Well I asked if she believed in Adam and Eve the fable
And I guess she would’ve given me an answer if only she was able
And she danced like a medicine man
Drew a crazy picture on my hand and told me
She wanted to change my point of view
Asked me where I was going to


Em

  G5                       E5
But it’s alright, it’s alright
   G5                      B5
It’s alright, it’s alright
             E5              G5            D5                 B5*         E5*
I got my nuts from a hippy in a camper van on Saturday night

             Em                           D
Well she whispered in my ear we got to get us out of
                 Em
here to the country


   Em                               D                      Em
I asked her for a ride she took me aside said “try me”
             C                                G
I thought I’m gonna wake pretty soon
         D                     B
In the middle of a Sunday afternoon just
C                     G                       D
dreamin, And it was warm in the back of her van

When she made me a real man

Em

She made me cry, she made me cry

  G5                       E5
But it’s alright, it’s alright
   G5                      B5
It’s alright, it’s alright

I got my nuts from a hippy in a camper van on Saturday night
