[Intro]
| E E/G# | A | E E/G# | A |
| E E/G# | A | E E/G# | A   B5 D5 |
                           (the organ plays two inversions of A here)
[Verse 1]
  E       E/G# A        E          E/G#    A
I used to be a renegade, I used to fool around
E               E/G#     A               E      E/G#    A
 But I couldn't take the punishment, and had to settle down
 
[Bridge]
A                   G                  A     Bm    E
 Now I'm playing it real straight, and yes I cut my hair
    F#m                        E/G#
You might think I'm crazy, but I don't even care
      Asus4                       Bsus4
Cause I can tell what's going on [break]
 
[Chorus]
[N.C.]         | E E/G# | A |
It's hip to be square
               | E E/G# | A   B5 D5 |
It’s hip to be square        (organ like in the intro)
 
[Verse 2]
  E       E/G#     A              E             E/G#   A
I like my bands in business suits, I watch them on  TV
    E       E/G#     A        E             E/G#      A
I'm working out most every day and watching what I eat
 
[Bridge]
A                       G                A       Bm  E
 They tell me that it's good for me, but I don't even care
  F#m                     E/G#
I know that it's crazy, I know that it's nowhere
    Asus4                     Bsus4
But there is no denying that [break]
 
[Chorus]
[N.C.]         | E E/G# | A |
It's hip to be square
               | E E/G# | A |
It's hip to be square
               | E E/G# | A |
It's hip to be square
               | E E/G# | A   B5 D5 |
So hip to be square           (organ like in the intro)
 
[Interlude] (brass section)

| E | Esus4 | E | Esus4 |

[Solo] (saxophone)
| E E/G# | A | E E/G# | A |
| E E/G# | A | E E/G# | A   B5 D5 |
 
[Verse 3]
     E       E/G#    A          E           E/G#     A
It's not too hard to figure out, you see it every day
    E          E/G#     A           E              E/G#     A
And those that were the farthest out have gone the other way
 
[Bridge]
A                    G           A                 Bm    E
 You see them on the freeway, it don't look like a lot of fun
    A                G             A          Bm      | E | % |
But don't you try to fight it; "An idea whose time has come."
      F#m                           E/G#
Don't tell me that I'm crazy, don’t tell me I'm nowhere
Asus4            Bsus4
Take it from me [break]
 
[Chorus]
[N.C.]         | E E/G# | A |
It's hip to be square
               | E E/G# | A |
It's hip to be square
               | E E/G# | A |
It's hip to be square
               | E E/G# | A   B5 D5 |
So hip to be square
 
[Outro]
E     E/G#       A
Here, there, and everywhere!
E    E/G#    A
Hip, hip, so hip to be square!
E     E/G#       A
Here, there, and everywhere!
E    E/G#    A
Hip, hip ...
E     E/G#       A
Here, there, and everywhere!
E    E/G#    A
Hip, hip, so hip to be square!
E     E/G#       A
Here, there, and everywhere!
E    E/G#    A
Hip, hip ...
