MXPX - Summer Of 69 guitar tab 

Song: Summer of '69

Artist: MxPx

Written By: Bryan Adams



The last one I found here had some mistakes in both the chords and the

lyrics, I know this one isn't perfect, but I think it's better.  I also

added in comments about how to play this one.  The lyrics might be wrong

for MxPx's version, I have the lyrics to Bryans Version .



Verse1: <stab chords off-beat, overdrive on>

C

I got my first real six-string

G

Bought it at the five and dime

C

Played it till my fingers bled

G


It was the summer of '69

<keep the elecrtic going on the same pattern, accoustic guitar in>

C

Me and some guys from school

G

Had a band and we tried real hard

C

John quit and Joey got married

G

I shoulda known we'd never get far



Chorus1: <cut overdrive>

Am         G

Oh when I look back now

C                     F

that summer seemed to last forever

Am        G

And if I had the choice

C                 F

Yeah - I'd always wanna be there

Am              G

Those were the best days of my life

Verse2: <o/drive on>

C

Ain't no use in complaining

G

When you got a job to do

C

Spent my evenings down at the drive-in

G

And that's when I met you

Chorus2: <cut o/drive>

Am                G

Standin' on your daddy's porch

C                     F

You told me you would wait forever

Am               G

Oh, and when you held my hand

C                  F

I knew that it was now or never

Am              G

Those were the best days of my life

G                     C       G

Back in the summer of '69



Bridge: <play up on the sixth and fourth frets)

Eb           G#

Man, we were killin time

        Bb

We were young and restless

   G#

We needed to unwind

Eb      G#                  Bb              C

I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no



Interlude:

Basically just G and C back and fourth 4 times

Verse3:

<no accoustic, o/drive on heavy, stab chords>

C

And now the times are changing

G

Look at everything that's come and gone

C

Sometimes I play that old six-string

G

Think about yeah wonder what went wrong



Chorus2: <o/drive off>

Am               G

Standing on your Daddy's porch

C                    F

You told me it would last forever

Am          G

The way you held my hand

C                  F

I knew that it was now or never

Am             G                     C, G

Those were the best days of my life

                       C     G

Back in the summer of '69

G                       C    G

Yeah, in the summer of '69

<Repeat to fade>
