Lyrics

Intro

Mm-mm-mm

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Verse 1

Sixty-two in the Cavern

Tiny room but the sound was loud

Four lads in a borrowed van

Chasing every bouncing crowd

Decca said no thank you

We smiled and walked away

Then came the man with the master tape

And we knew we'd found our way

Pre-Chorus

From Hamburg docks to Abbey Road

Every street we ever rode

Chorus

We were fab in the firelight

Four shadows on a painted wall

John and Paul through the amplifier

Giving everything to all

We were fab in the firelight

Brighter than the moon above

Sixty-two to seventy-one

That was the magic of the love

Verse 2

Shea Stadium screaming

Fifty-five thousand in the heat

Couldn't hear a single note we played

But the pulse was in the beat

Rubber Soul in the bedroom

Sergeant Sgt. in the studio haze

Strawberry fields on a Sunday

Blowing minds in new ways

Pre-Chorus

From the Cavern to the rooftop

Every chord we ever struck

Chorus

We were fab in the firelight

Four shadows on a painted wall

John and Paul through the amplifier

Giving everything to all

We were fab in the firelight

Brighter than the moon above

Sixty-two to seventy-one

That was the magic of the love

Bridge

The b-sides and the outtakes

The four-track on the stairs

The interview on the telly

The broadcast through the air

July sixty-nine got us flying

The dream went past the moon

And the wood block kept us counting

To a funky perfect tune

Guitar Solo

Chorus

We were fab in the firelight

Four shadows on a painted wall

John and Paul through the amplifier

Giving everything to all

We were fab in the firelight

Brighter than the moon above

Sixty-two to seventy-one

That was the magic of the love

Outro

(Fab in the firelight)

(Fab in the firelight)

Wado Burning Bear

Mm-mm-mm

Oh-oh-oh
