[Intro]
G D Am G D C G G
[Verse]
G C
Well I find myself in reverie
G
'Bout what we might have had
C
And what might have been
G C
We had something going once
D
That was such a long, long time ago
G C
It was way back in '76
G C
Our friendship formed of pure innocence
G C
We first met in Mathew Street
D
Where we heard something that would set us free
Em G
A sign stands over a door, it says
D
"Four lads who shook the world"
Am C
In the depths of those heady nights
Em C
We would dream of those bright lights
D D D
Oh my friend, Oh my friend, Oh my friend

[Verse]
G C
And my friend John, he went away
G
He made some mistakes
C
Spent time in Walton jail
G C
And now when I see him we still talk
D
But there's no light shining in his eyes
G C
And Susie, she was seventeen
G
And more beauty in this world
C
I swear you'll never see
G
I was gonna be king
C
And she was gonna be queen
Em D
But now all she does is hide behind the tears
Em G
If there was more sense in this world
D
And work wasn't so hard to find
Am C
You would not be going your way
Em C
I would not be going mine
D D D
Oh my friend, Oh my friend, Oh my friend
[Chorus]
G G/F# C/E D G
Somewhere tonight out on the street
G G/F# C/E D Em7
Somewhere beneath this city's heat
C D Em
In the eyes of strangers who pass me by
D D D/E Em
Life is cruel and so unkind
C C
Oh, Oh the SPIRIT OF '76

[Verse]
G C
And Pete has seen his dreams come true
G
But that don't make him no hero
C
He's just one of the lucky few
G C
If a man can't change the world these days
D
I still believe a man can change his own destiny
G C
But the price is high that has got to be paid
G C
For everyone who survives there are many who fail
G C
I've seen my friends caught out in that crossfire
Em D
All their dreams and hopes smashed on the funeral pyre
Em G D
I will never give in until the day I die
Am C
Get myself some independence
Em C
Carve out a future with my two bare hands
D D D
Oh my friend, Oh my friend, Oh my friend
[Chorus]
G G/F# C/E D G
Somewhere tonight out on the street
G G/F# C/E D Em7
Somewhere beneath this city's heat

In the eyes of strangers who pass me by

Life is cruel and so unkind

Oh, Oh the SPIRIT OF '76

Mersey lights shine in the distance same as they did for us then
Em C D Em
Mersey lights shine bright in the distance where are you now my friend?
G C D
You see some nights when I can't sleep, I still think of you
Am Am G
Of all the promises, all the dreams we shared
A C G
I know those lights still call to you
G G/D C G G/D C
I can hear them now, I can hear them now
