🎸 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

🎸 Chorus:
Bm     A       D           G
 Oh when I look back now - that summer seemed to last for ever
Bm     A        D       G
 And if I had the choice - ya I'd always wanna be there
Bm        A        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:
Bm         A       D            G
 Standing on your Mamma's porch - you told me that you'd wait forever
Bm       A      D          G
 And when you held my hand - I knew that it was now or never
Bm        A        D*  A*            D* A*
 Those were the best days of my life - back in the summer of '69


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


🎸 Instrumental:
D* A* D* A*




🎸 Verse :
D*
 And now the times are changin'
A*
 Look at everything that's come and gone
D*
 Sometimes when I play my old six string
A*
 I think about you wonder what went wrong


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


🎸 Outro:
