[Intro]

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
D
Me and some guys from school
A
Had a band and we tried real hard
D
Jimmy quit, Jody got married
A
I shoulda known we'd never get far
[Chorus 1]
BmA
Oh, when I look back now
DG
That summer seemed to last forever
BmA
And if I had the choice
DG
Yeah, I'd always wanna be there
BmAD
Those were the best days of my life
[Instrumental]
()DA
[Verse 3]
D
Ain't no use in complainin'
A
When you got a job to do
D
Spent my evenin's down at the drive in
A
And that's when I met you, yeah
[Chorus 2]
BmA
Standin' on your mama's porch
DG
You told me that you'd wait forever
BmA
Oh, and when you held my hand
DG
I knew that it was now or never
BmAD
Those were the best days of my life
()DADA
Oh yeah Back in the summer of '69 Ohhh
[Bridge]
FBb
Man, we were killin' time
C
We were young and restless
Bb/D
We needed to unwind
FBbC
I guess nothin' can last forever, forever no
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus 3]
BmA
Standin' on your mama's porch
DG
You told me that it'd last forever
BmA
Oh, and when you held my hand
DG
I knew that it was now or never
BmAD
Those were the best days of my life
