   Had a band and we tried real hard

   Should've known we'd never get far

🎸 Chorus:

Bm                   A
   Standing on your mamma's porch
D                         G
  You told me that you'd wait forever
Bm               A
   And when you held my hand
D                     G
  I knew that it was now or never
Bm                 A               D   A
   Those were the best days of my life

                        D         A
Back in the summer of 'sixty nine

🎸 Bridge:

F              Bb
  Man we were killin' time
         C
We were young and reckless
    Bb
We needed to unwind
F          Bb                 C
  I guess nothing can last forever

(D  A  D  A)

🎸 Verse:

D5
   And now the times are changin'
A5
   Look at everything that's come and gone
D5
   Sometimes when I play that old six string
A5
   I think about you wonder what went wrong

🎸 Chorus:

Bm                   A
   Standin' on your mama's porch
D                   G
  You told me it'd last forever
Bm               A
   And when you held my hand
D                     G
  I knew that it was now or never
Bm                A                D    A
   Those were the best days of my life
                        D         A
Back in the summer of 'sixty nine
