[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
[Instrumental]

[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
[Instrumental]

[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]

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
