Biography:
In April 1984 Burma Shave first came together. No one could have thought then that more than twenty years later the band would still exist. Its name was chosen from
a song of Tom Waits and based at The Hague (the Netherlands), Remco Prins (guitar, vocals), Paul Martin (lead vocals), Niels Göbel (guitar), Michiel de Vos (bass) and Lennart Bess (drums) played their first gig in November of that year. At that time, their music was clearly influenced by new wave and early-eighties pop.

Burma Shave - Hippies (from the album "Burma Shave")

The song is in standard tuning. This is from a dutch band so I'm not
sure if you all can do something with it...
INTRO
E G E G (4 times)
VERSE
E G
I was walking down the road with a need to score
E G
She looked real cute what I'm waiting for
E G
Well it took me just a couple of hours
E G
But then we got home and showered in flowers
E G
Well you're looking at me and you ain't so bad
E G
Thinking about the peace that we could have had
E G E G
This doesn't seem to fit we're rebels with a clit
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 G FG
G
I'm on my way back home
G
Ridin' out of the danger zone
G
Trippin' over everything that is high
SOLO (just play E G 16 times)
2nd CHORUS (4 times)
E G
We breathe and we breathe but we don't know what we're breathing
E
So I don't know what we're talking about
CHORUS
