SUMMER OF '69, 1
D A
1. I got my first real six-string, bought it at a five-and-dime,
D A
played it till my fingers bled, it was the summer of 69.
D A
Me and some guys from school had a band, and we tried real hard,
D A
Jimmy quit and Jody got married, I shoulda known we'd never get far.
G A D G
Oh, when I look back now, that summer seemed to last forever,
h A D G
oh, and if I had a choice, yeah, I'd always wanna be there.
h A D - A
Those were the best days of my life.
D A
2. Ain't no use in complainin' when you got a job to do,
D A
spent my evenings down at the drive-in and that's where I met you.
G A D G
Standin on your mama's porch you told me that you'd wait forever,
h A D G
oh, and when you held my hand, I knew that it was now or never.
h A D A
Those were the best days of my life, oh, yeah
D A
back in the summer of '69, oh.
F Ais
Man, we were killing time
C Ais F
we were young and restless we needed to unwind.
Ais C - D - A - D - A
I guess, nothin' can last forever, forever, no. No!

3. And now the times are changing,
A
look at everything that's come and gone.
D
Sometimes when I play that old six-string,
A
I think about you, wonder what went wrong
G A D G
Standin on your mama's porch you told me that it'd last forever,
h A D G
oh, and when you held my hand, I knew that it was now or never.
h A D A
Those were the best days of my life, oh, yeah
D A
back in the summer of '69, oh.
D A
Back in the summer of 69, oh yeah ! .....
