Summer Of Sixty Nine - Ryan Adams
D MajorD A augmentedA
D MajorD A augmentedA
I got my first real six-string, bought it at the five-and-dime
D MajorD A augmentedA
Played 'til my fingers bled, it was summer of '69
D MajorD A augmentedA
Me and some guys from school, had a Band and we tried real hard
D MajorD A augmentedA
Jimmy quit and Jody got married, I shoulda known we'd never get far
B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD G+G
Oh when I look back now, that summer seemed to last forever
B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD G+G
And if I had the choice, yeah I'd always wanna be there
B minorBm A augmentedA D/AD/A D MajorD
Those were the best days of my life
A/D - D MajorD D/AD/A - A augmentedA
Ain't no use in complainin', when you got a job to do
A/D - D MajorD D/AD/A A augmentedA
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in, and that's when I met you
B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD G+G
Standin on a mama's porch, you told me that you'd wait forever
B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD G+G
Oh and when you held my hand, I knew that it was now or never
B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD
Those were the best days of my life
D MajorD A augmentedA D/AD/A D MajorD
(Oh yeah) Back in the summer of 69'
FF Bb majorBb C majorC
Man we were killin' time, We were young and restless
Bb/DBb/D C/EC/E FF
We needed to unwind
Bb majorBb C majorC
I guess nothin' can last forever, forever no
D MajorD G/D-D | A augmentedA D/A-A (2x)
A/D - D MajorD D/AD/A - A augmentedA
And now the times are changin', look at everything that's come and gone
A/D - D MajorD D/AD/A - A augmentedA
Somethimes when I play that old 6-string, I think about you, wonder what went wrong
B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD G+G
Standin on your mama's porch, you told me that it'd last forever
B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD G+G
Oh and when you held my hand, I knew that it was now or never
B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD
Those were the best days of my life
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD - A augmentedA
(Oh yeah) It was the summer of 69'
(repeat all the way to the end)
