Alarm - Spirit Of 76 Ukulele Chords

Am        G                  Csus2
Well I  find myself in rever ie,

                  G                Csus2
'bout what we  might have had and what  might have been.  

  G                       Csus2
  We had something going  once,  

                 Dsus2
That was such a  long long time ago.  

         G            Csus2            G                    Csus2
It was  way back in seventy- six, a  friendship formed of  pure innocence,  

  G                         Csus2
  We first met in Matthew  street,  

                    Dsus2
where we heard  something that would set us free.  

     Em           G                        D
  A sign stands  over the door and says "Four lads who  shook the world"

  Am                       C          Em                   C
  In the depths of those heady nights we would dream of  those bright lights

            D
  Oh my friend, Oh my friend, Oh my friend

  G  G/F#   Cadd9                Em7
  Somewhere tonight out on the street

  G   G/F#    Cadd9        D        Em7
  Somewhere beneath  this city' s heat

  Cadd4             D            Em
In the eyes of  strangers who  pass me  by

  G         Cadd9    D    Em
  Life is cruel and so  unkind

  C                     G
O h, Oh the SPIRIT OF '76

Am        G                  Csus2

And my friend John, he went away and he made some mistakes
                 
 G                Csus2

Spent time in Walton jail

And now when I see him we still talk but there's no light shining in his eyes

And Susie, she was 17 and more beauty in this world I swear you'll never see

I was gonna be king and she was gonna be queen

But now all she does is hide behind the tears

If there was more sense in this world and work wasn't so hard to find

You would not be going your way, I would not be going mine

Oh my friend, Oh my friend, Oh my friend

Em              C                       D                       Em
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 G
  Of all the promises, all the dreams we  shared

  A G
  I know those lights still  call to you

  C C G
  I can hear them now,  I can hear them no w

And now me, I've seen my dreams come true

But that don't make me no hero

I'm just one of the lucky few

If a man can't change the world these days

I still believe a man can change his own destiny

But the price is high that has got to be paid

For everyone who survives there are many who fail

Seen my friends caught out in that crossfire

All their dreams and hopes smashed on the funeral pyre

I will never give in until the day that I die

I get myself some independence

Carve out a future with these two bare hands

Oh my friend, Oh my friend, Oh my friend
