[Verse 1]
N.C.
Well, Daddy packed the van fulla campin' gear
N.C.
Mama filled the ice chest up with beer
D AAnd I rode shotgun all the way up Route 15
AIt seemed every picker in the USA
AHad landed in a Culpeper field that day
E D AFifty years gone, I'm still groovin' on that scene
[Verse 2]
AThere was old men doin' the buck and wing
AYoung gals skinny-dippin' in the spring
D AWhile the singin' and the fiddlin' and the feedback filled the air
AWhile Mom and Daddy were gettin' fried
AI was sittin there with my eyeballs wide
E'Cause comin' straight at me offa the stage
EJust like a demon with a Hypno-ray
EStealin' my mind away
[Chorus]
N.C. D AIt was that longhair bluegrass
D ASettin' my young spirit free
D A DYeah that longhair bluegrass
A E AWell, a little rough and shaggy but man it spoke to me
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
AHey, what's it matter how a fella looks
AIf his song is true and his playin' cooks
D AI mighta known that, but I was just a dumb old kid
AThose hippies knew Bob Marley note for note
AAnd they didn't shove religion down your throat
E D AAnd I was pretty sure they smoked dope like I did
[Verse 4]
AThere'd'a been police and pepper spray
AIf a few old-timers had had their way
D AOle Dr. Ralph Stanley looked a little unamused
AOh, but anyone with ears could not deny
ABlake on the guitar, Tony on the five
EThere was somethin' in the air for sure
EIt wasn't all peace and make-love-not-war
ENo, it was somethin' more
[Chorus]
N.C. D AIt was that longhair bluegrass
D AThat was the sound of '73
D A DYeah that longhair bluegrass
A E AMan, it swept the South and it swept over me

[Verse 5]
AClarence White, that's a name I adore
AAnd John Hartford, just to drop one more
EAnd don't forget the Nitty Gritty Band, Earl Scruggs and his sons, Mr. Dave Grisman
AAnd you know Monroe is still the King
ABut now his church has a new wing
E D AWhere an outcast like me can feel at home
[Chorus]
D ASingin' that longhair bluegrass
D AJust like Sam said it should be
D A DYeah that longhair bluegrass
A BmWell it wasn't all the greatest songs
A DAnd the solos were a little long
A E DBut it spoke to me strong, and it still speaks to me
[Interlude]
