 D5




🎸 Verse:

D5
  I got my first real six string
A5
  Bought it at the five & dime

  Played it til my fingers bled

  Was the summer of sixty nine

D5
  Me and some guys from school
A5
  Had a band and we tried real hard
D5
  Jimmy quit and Jody got married
A5
  Should've known we'd never get far

🎸 Chorus:

Bm       A
  Oh, when I look back now
D            G
 That summer seemed to last forever
Bm      A
  And if I had the choice

 Yeah
I'd always wanna be there

  Those were the best days of my life

🎸 Verse:

D5
  Ain't no use complaining

  When you've gotta job to do
D5
  Spent my evenings down at the drive in
A5
  And that's when I met you, yeah

🎸 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
