Skyhooks - 1976 Guitar lyrics

Macainsh In '68 I bought an axe at the local music shop 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.
