1976 Guitar |
| I took it home and tuned it up and I began to bop |
| I played that thing all night and day, each fret from neck to nut |
| There weren’t no riff, I did not know no lick, I could not cut |
| In '73 I joined a band and wrote some snappy tunes |
| Went out to play six nights a week to all you drunken hoons |
| From Leederville to Bondi the news it travelled far |
| That maybe we could play that 1976 guitar |
| Wah wah pedal, old Vox amp, Marshall and a Fender |
| Plug 'em in and tune 'em up, it’s the sound we all remember |
| In '74 we got tight, in '75 we starred |
| Then we knew we had to play that 1976 guitar |
| All the way to number one the music did not stop |
| We were high and mighty but it’s lonely at the top |
| Then one night I met a girl at the Sebel bar |
| And she taught me how to play that 1976 guitar |
| Wah wah pedal, old Vox amp, Marshall and a Fender |
| Plug 'em in and tune 'em up, it’s the sound we all remember |
| We were coming close close but no cigar |
| Then I found the key to play that 1976 guitar |
| Ooh, it¹s been a long time since I’ve opened up that case |
| Plugged it in and gave the next door neighbours just a taste |
| Now I know we weaved some magic up upon that stage |
| Somewhere in the spotlight I think we came of age |
| But I learnt one simple lesson, no matter who you are |
| Maybe you can play that 1976 guitar |
| Wah wah pedal, old Vox amp, Marshall and a Fender |
| Plug 'em in and tune 'em up, it’s the sound we all remember |
| In '74 we got tight, in '75 we starred |
| Then we learned to play that 1976 guitar |
| If you walk the walk, no matter who you are |
| You can learn to play that 1976 guitar |
| Could be a Gibson Les Paul, or Fender Jaguar |
| Just as long as she’s a 1976 guitar |
| Just as long as she’s a 1976 guitar |
