🎸 Verse :
D*                A*
 I got my first real six string - bought it at the five & dime
D*               A*
 Played it til my fingers bled - 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 - shoulda known we'd never get far

 And if I had the choice - ya I'd always wanna be there
B minorBm        A augmentedA        D*  A*
 Those were the best days of my life



🎸 Verse :
D*             A*
 Ain't no use complaining - when ya gotta job to do
D*                    A*
 Spent my evenings down at the drive in - and that's when I met you - ya


🎸 Chorus:
B minorBm         A augmentedA       D MajorD            G+G
 Standing on your Mamma's porch - you told me that you'd wait forever
B minorBm       A augmentedA      D MajorD          G+G
 And when you held my hand - I knew that it was now or never
B minorBm        A augmentedA        D*  A*            D* A*
 Those were the best days of my life - back in the summer of '69

 Man we were killin' time

 We were young and reckless - we needed to unwind

 I guess nothing can last forever

🎸 Verse :
D*
 And now the times are changin'

 Look at everything that's come and gone

 Sometimes when I play my old six string

 I think about you wonder what went wrong

 And when you held my hand - I knew that it was now or never
B minorBm        A augmentedA          D* A*            D* A*
 Those were the best days of my life -  back in the summer of '69
