Summer Of '69
D-I got my first real six-string
A-Bought it at the five-and-dime
D- Played it till my fingers bled
A -It was the summer of '69
D-Me and some guys from school
A-Had a band and we tried real hard
D -Jimmy quit and Jody got married
A-I shoulda known we'd never get far
Bm -Oh when I -A- look back now
D - That summer seemed to -G-last forever
Bm - And if I -A-had the choice
D -Ya I'd always -G-wanna be there
Bm - Those were the best days of my life- D
D -Ain't no use in complainin'
A -When you got a job to do
D - Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
A -And that's when I met you
Standin' on your Mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69
F-Man we were-Bm- killin' time
We were -C-young and restless
We -Bm- needed to unwind
F-I guess -Bm-nothin' can last fore-C-ver - forever, no
And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong
Standin' on your Mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69
