_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ But I [G] find myself in _ [C] reverie _ [G] at what we might have had and [C] what might have been. _
[G] We had something going [C] once that was such [D] a long, long time ago. _
_ _ It was [G] way back in _ [C] 76, _ _ [G] our friendship for [C] the pure and the see.
_ [G]
We first met in Matthew [C] Street where we had [D] something that set us free.
_ _ _ _ [Em] The sign [G] stands over the door and says,
four lights that shook [D] the world _ _ in [Am] _ the depths of those [C] heavy _ nights.
_ [Em] We would [G] dream of [C] those bright _ _ lights.
Oh, my [D] friend.
Oh, my [G] friend.
Oh, my friend. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

[Em] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
When [G] my friend, Johnny, went [C] away _ [G] and he made some mistakes,
by telling [C] what to do.
[G] And now when I see him, we still [C] talk.
But there's no [D] light shining in his eyes. _ _
That [G] means that she was _ [C] 17 _ [G] and more beauty in this world.
I swear [C] you'll never see.
[G] I was going to be king and she was going to be queen.
But now all she does is hide [D] behind the tears.
[Em] If there [G] was more sense in this world and [D] work wasn't so hard to find,
_ _ _ [A] _ you would not be [C] going your way.
[Em] I would not be [C] going _ _ [D] mine.
Oh, my friend.
Oh, my [C] friend.
Oh, [D] my friend.
[G] _ [D] Somewhere tonight [Em] out on the [G] street, _ somewhere beneath [D] this city street,
there are [C] strangers who [D] pass me [Em] by.
_ Well, life [C] is cruel and [D] so I'm [G] _ tired.
_ [C] Oh, this city of 76.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _

_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [D] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [D] _ _
[Em] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ And [G]
Peter's seen his dreams come [C] true.
_ But that don't [G] make him no hero.
He's [C] just one of the lucky few.
[G] If a man can't change the world these [C] days, I still believe a [G] man can [D] change his own [G] _ destiny.
But the price is high.
God has [C] got to be paid [G] for everyone who survives and [C] the many who fail.
[G] I've seen my friends caught out in [C] that _ crossfire.
All [D] the dreams that hold smash on the funeral _ pyre.
_ [Em] I will [G] never give in _ [D] until the day that I die. _ _ _
[A] I've bought myself [C] some _ independence.
_ [Em] Caught out of future with my [C] two bare _ hands.
[D] Oh, my friend.
Oh, my [C] friend.
Oh, [D] my [G] friend. _
Somewhere tonight [Em] out on the [G] street, somewhere _ beneath [D] this city street,
there are [C] strangers who [D] pass me [Em] by.
_ Oh, life [C] is cruel and [D] so I'm _ tired.
[C] Oh, _ this city of 76. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Mercy lights _ shine in the distance, [D] same as [Em] they did for us then.
_ _ _ [G] Mercy lights shine _ bright in the distance [D] where I am now, [Em] my friend.
_ You see, [G] some nights when I can't sleep, [C] I still [D] think of you.
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] Of all our promises, _ all our dreams we [Em] shared. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I [D] know _ _ [A] those _ lights [Em] still call [G] to you.
_ [C] I can hear them [G]
now.
_ _ _ [C] I can [G] hear them _ _ now. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Ooh, _ _ still shining for you.
_ _ _ Let them shine. _
_ _ _ [C] Can you hear them?
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] Can you hear them?

_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ Lights are still [G] shining.
_ _ Somewhere [C] tonight [Em] out on the [G] street, _ somewhere beneath [D] this city street,
there are [C] strangers who [D] pass me [Em] by.
_ Oh, life [C] is cruel and [D] so I'm _ tired.
[C] Oh, _ _ _ this city of _ _ _ _ [G] 76. _
