Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][E][A][A]

[Verse 1]
[A]Rocky burned up the movie screen,
[D]and I was turnin' sev[E]enteen
[A]Tie-dyed shirts and Levis jeans,
[D]lookin' cool at the Dai[E]ry Queen
Tryin' to im[D]press a young woman
in her [E]Sunday dress

[Chorus 1]
And that was 19[D]76, didn't know who [A]I was yet
A pretty little [E]blonde haired girl
stole my heart and [A]changed my world
Two kids and a [D]moonlit sky,
a little love on a [A]Friday night
Built a fire that [E]just wont quit,
[D]that was 1976[A]

[Interlude 1]
[D][E][A][A]

[Verse 2]
[A]My high school days I packed away,
[D]set my sights on a big[E]ger stage
[A]Jimmy Carter moved to DC,
[D]a Georgia boy jus[E]t like me
Life [D]seemed easy,
nothin' much that we [E]needed

[Chorus 2]
And that was 19[D]76, didn't know who [A]I was yet
A pretty little [E]blonde haired girl
stole my heart and [A]changed my world
Two kids and a [D]moonlit sky,
a little love on a [A]Friday night
Built a fire that [E]just wont quit,
[D]that was 1976[A]

[Solo 1]
[D][D][A][A]
[E][E][A][A]
[D][D][A][A]
[E][D][A][A]

[Verse 3]
[A]Eight track tapes were still in style
[D]and Elvis was sti[E]ll alive
[A]Wonder Woman sure looked fine,
[D]Bionic Man was sti[E]ll Prime Time
And that [D]girl I liked,
we kept on tryin' 'till we [E]got it right

[Chorus 3]
And that was 19[D]76, didn't know who [A]I was yet
A pretty little [E]blonde haired girl
stole my heart and [A]changed my world
Two kids and a [D]moonlit sky,
a little love on a [A]Friday night
Built a fire that [E]just wont quit,
[D]that was 1976[A]
Yeah, that was 19[D]76,
didn't know who [A]we were yet
Built a fire that [E]just wont quit
[D]that was 1976[A]
We built a fire that [E]just wont quit,
[D]that was 1976

[Outro 1]
[D][E][A][A]
