[D]I got my first real six-string
[A]Bought it at a five-and-dime
[D]Played it til my fingers bled
[A]It was the summer of 69
Me and some guys from school
had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shoulda known we'd never get far
{c:Chorus}
[G]Oh when I [A]look back now
[D]that summer seemed to [G]last forever
[G]Oh and if I [A]had a choice
[D]Yeah I'd [G]always wanna be there
[G]Those were the [A]best days of my [D]life
Ain't no use in complainin'
when you got a job to do
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in
and that's where I met you
{c:Chorus}
Standin on your mama's porch
you told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the [A]best days of my [D]life [D] [Dsus2] [D] [Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2] [D]
[A] [Asus2] [A] [Asus4]back [A]in the [Asus2]summer [A]of [D]'69
{c:Bridge}
[F]Man we were [Bb]killing time
we were [C]young and restless we [Bb]needed to un[F]wind
I guess [Bb]nothin' can last for[C]ever- forever;[D]no
[D] [Dsus2] [D] [Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2] [D] [A] [Asus2] [A] [Asus4] [A] [Asus2] [A]
And now the times are changing
look at everything thats come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about you wonder what went wrong
{c:Chorus}
Standin' on your mama's porch
you told me it would last forever
oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of 69
