Verse (D* A*):

i got my first real six string
- brought it at the five & dime
played it til my fingers bled
- was the summer of '69

me and some guys from school
started a band and we tried real hard
jimmy quit and jody got married
shoulda known we'd never get far

Chorus (Bm A D G)

[Bm] oh when i [A]look back now
[D] that summer seemed to [G]last for ever
And if i had the choice
ya i'd always *wanna be there
those were the best days of my
[D*]life [A*]

Verse

Ain't no use complaining
when ya gotta job to do!
Spent my evenings down at the drive in
and that's when i met you

Chorus

[Bm] Standing on your mamma's porch
you told me that you'd wait forever.
And when i held your hand,
I knew that it was now or never

[Bm] those were the [A]best days of my
[D*]life - back in the summer of [A*]'69 [D*] [A*]

Chorus2

[F] man we were killin' [Bb]time,
we were [C]young and reckless - we [Bb]needed to
un[F]wind: I guess [Bb]nothing can last for
[C]ever...

D* A* D* A*

Verse

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

Chorus

[Bb]Standing on your manna's porch
you told me it'd last forever
And when i held your hand
I knew that it was now or never
[Bm] those were the [A]best days of my
[D*]life - [A*] back in the summer of
[D*]'69 [A*]
