Scale: D Major Time Signature: 4/4 Tempo: 130 Suggested Strumming: DU,DU,DU,DU [INTRO] D [VERSE] D I got my first real six-string A Bought it at the five-and-dime D Played it 'til 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, Jody got married A I should've known we'd never get far Bm A Oh, when I look back now D G That summer seemed to last forever Bm A And if I had the choice D G Yeah, I'd always wanna be there Bm A D Those were the best days of my life [INSTRUMENTAL] D A [VERSE] D Ain't no use in complainin' A When you've got a job to do D Spent my evening's down at the drive-in A And that's when I met you, yeah [PRE-CHORUS] Bm A Standin' on your mama's porch D G You told me that you'd wait forever Bm A Oh, and when you held my hand D G I knew that it was now or never Bm A D Those were the best days of my life A Oh, yeah. A D A Back in the summer of '69, oh. [BRIDGE] F Bb Man we were killin' time C We were young and restless Bb We needed to unwind F Bb C I guess nothin' can last forever, forever, no! [INSTRUMENTAL] D A D A [VERSE] 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 you, wonder what went wrong [PRE-CHORUS] Bm A Standin' on your mama's porch D G You told me that you'd wait forever Bm A Oh, and when you held my hand D G I knew that it was now or never Bm A D Those were the best days of my life A Oh, yeah. A D A Back in the summer of '69, oh. D A It was the summer of '69, oh, yeah. D A Me and my baby in '69, oh. A D A It was the summer, the summer, the summer of '69, yeah.
