[Verse]

A                                            C
Where were you in 79 when the dam began to burst
        A                                  C
Did you check us out down at the local show
         A
Were you wearing denim, wearing leather
                          C
Did you run down to the front
        A                                          C
Did you queue for your ticket through the ice and snow

        A                                                C
Did you read the music paper from the back and to the front
        D                                    C
Did you find out where to see your favorite band
        A                                 C
Did you listen to the radio every Friday night
         A                          C
Did hang around your local record store

       A                                              C
Do you dream of playing guitar or smashing up the drums
      A                             C
Maybe you can learn to play the bass
        A                                           C
You can always be a singer like me and front the band
     A                                   C
When on the stage we wait at your command
