Intro: * D A D A

Verse 1: 

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 1:

Bm        A              D                      G
Oh when I look back now, that summer seemed to last forever
Bm      A               D               G
And if I had the choice, ya I'd always wanna be there
Bm               A                  * D A D A 
Those were the best days of my life


Verse 2:

D                         A 
Ain't no use complaining, when you gotta job to do
D                                       A 
Spent my evenings down at the drive in, and that's when I met you, yeah!


Chorus 2:

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


Bridge: 

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, forever, no...


[Instrumental Break - Play Intro]


Verse 3:
 
D                              A 
And now the times are changin', look at everything that's come and gone
D                                       A
Sometimes when I play my old six string, I think about you and wonder what went wrong


Chorus 3:

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