INTRO: [Dsus2] [D] [Dsus4] [D] [Asus2] [A] [Asus4] [A]
[D] I got my first real six-string
[A] Bought it at the five-and-dime
[D] Played it till my fingers bled
[A] It was the summer of '69
[D] Me and some guys from school
[A] Had a band and we tried real hard
[D] Jimmy quit and Jody got married
[A]I shoulda known we'd never get far
CHORUS #1:
[Bm ]Oh when I [A]look back now
That [D]summer seemed to [G]last forever
[Bm] And if I [A]had the choice
[D] Yeah, I'd always [G]wanna be there
[Bm] Those were the [A]best days of my life
[D] Ain't no use in complaining
[A] When you got a job to do
[D] Spent my evenings down at the drive-in
[A] And that's when I met you
CHORUS #2:
[Bm] Standin' on your [A]mama's porch
[D] You told me that you'd [G]wait forever
[Bm] Oh and when you [A]held my hand
[D] I knew that it was [G]now or never
[Bm] Those were the [A]best days of my life
[D] [A]
Back in the summer of '[D]69 [A]
[D] Man we were killin' time
[A] We were young and restless
[D] We needed to unwind
[A] I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no
INTRO
[D] And now the times are changin'
[A] Look at everything that's come and gone
[D] Sometimes when I play that old six-string
[A] I think about ya wonder what went wrong
CHORUS #3:
[Bm]Standin' on your [A]mama's porch
[D] You told me it would [G]last forever
[Bm] Oh the way you [A]held my hand
[D] I knew that it was [G]now or never
[Bm] Those were the [A]best days of my life
[D] [A]
Back in the summer of '[D]69 [A]
It was the summer of '[D]69 [A]
Just me and my baby in '[D]69 [A]
[D] [A]
It was the summer, summer of '[D]69 [A]
[D] [A]
It was the summer of '[D]love [A] |
