Summer Of 69

D I got my first real six-string A Bought it at the five-and-dime D Played 'til my fingers bled A It was summer of '69 D Me and some guys from school A Had a Band and we tried real hard D Jimmy quit and Jody got married A I shualda known we'd never get far Bm A Oh when I look back now D G That was seemes to last forever Bm A And if I had the choice D G Ya - I'd always wanna be there Bm A Those were the best days of my life

D - A D Ain't no use in complainin' A When you got a job to do D Spent my evenin's down at the drive in A And that's when I met you Bm A Standin on a mama's porch D G You told me that you'd wait forever Bm A Oh and when you held my hand D G I knew that it was now or never Bm A Those were the best days of my life D A D - A (Oh yeah) Back in the summer of 69' F A# Man we were killin' time C We were young and restless A# We needed to unwind F A# C I guess nothin' can last forever, forever no D - A D - A D And now the times are changin' A Look at everything that's come and gone D Somethimes when I play that old six-string A I think about ya wonder what went wrong Bm A Standin on a mama's porch D G You told me that you'd wait forever Bm A Oh and when you held my hand D G I knew that it was now or never Bm A Those were the best days of my life D A D - A (Oh yeah) Back in the summer of 69' D - A (All the way to the end)
