1976

A  D  E  A  E  A


[Verse 1]
A                                D                E
 Rocky burned up the movie screen and I was turnin seventeen
A                                D                  E
 Tie-dyed shirts and Levis jeans, lookin cool at the Dairy Queen
           D                          E
 Tryin to impress a young woman in her Sunday dress


[Chorus]
               D                   A
 And that was 1976, didn't know who I was yet
                E                                     A
 A pretty little blonde haired girl stole my heart and changed my world
               D                               A
 Two kids and a moonlit sky, a little love on a Friday night
                  E               D          A
 Built a fire that just wont quit, that was 1976

[Verse 1]
A                                  D                  E
 My high school days I packed away, set my sights on a bigger stage
A                        D              E
 Jimmy Carter moved to DC, a Georgia boy just like me,
            D                        E
 Life seemed easy nothin much that we needed


[Chorus]
               D                   A
 And that was 1976, didn't know who I was yet
                E                                     A
 A pretty little blonde haired girl stole my heart and changed my world
               D                               A
 Two kids and a moonlit sky, a little love on a Friday night
                  E               D          A
 Built a fire that just wont quit, that was 1976

[Verse 2]
A                                     D             E
 Eight track tapes were still in style and Elvis was still alive
A                              D              E
 Wonder Woman sure looked fine, Bionic Man was still Prime Time
         D                                      E
 And that girl I liked, we kept on tryin till we got it right


[Chorus]
               D                   A
 And that was 1976, didn't know who I was yet
                E                                     A
 A pretty little blonde haired girl stole my heart and changed my world
               D                               A
 Two kids and a moonlit sky, a little love on a Friday night
                  E               D          A
 Built a fire that just wont quit, that was 1976


[Outro]
A               D                    A

                  E              D              A
 Built a fire that just wont quit and that was 1976
                     E               D          A
 We built a fire that just wont quit, that was 1976
