Summer of '69

D A
I got my first real six string, bought it at the five and dime
D A
Played it 'til my fingers bled. Was the summer of '69
Me and some guys from school had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married; I should've known we'd never get far
Bm A
But when I look back now
D G
That summer seemed to last forever
Bm A
And if I had the choice
D G
Yeah, I'd always wanna be there
Bm A
Those were the best days of my life
Ain't no use in complaining when you got a job to do
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in, and that's when I met you, yeah!
Standing 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 Bb C
Man, we were killing time, we were young and restless
Bb F Bb C
We needed to unwind. I guess nothing can last forever, forever, no
And now the times are changing
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six string
I think about you, wonder what went wrong
Standing 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
