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
C
Me and some guys from school
G
Had a band and we tried real hard
C
Jimmy quit and Joey got married
G
I shoulda known we'd never get far



A         G
Oh when I look back now 
C                     F
that summer seemed to last forever 
A        G
And if I had the choice 
C                 F
Yeah - I'd always wanna be there 
A              G
Those were the best days of my life


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 


A                G
Standin' on your daddy's porch 
C                      F
You told me that you'd wait forever 
A               G
Oh and when you held my hand 
C                  F
I knew that it was now or never 
A              G
Those were the best days of my life 
G                     C       G
Back in the summer of '69 


F            C
Man, we were killin time 
        G
We were young and restless 
   A
We needed to unwind  
F       C                   G               C
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no


G, C, G


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
I think about ya wonder what went wrong 


A                G
Standing on your Daddy's porch 
C                    F
You told me it would last forever
A           G  
The way you held my hand 
C                  F
I knew that it was now or never 
A              G                     C, G
Those were the best days of my life 
                       C     G
Back in the summer of '69
