1976 Guitar - Skyhooks

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
