Intro:
D
D A
I got my first real six strings - brought it at the five & dime
D A
Played it 'til my fingers bled - was the summer of '69
D A
Me and some guys from school - had a band and we tried real hard
D A
Jimmy quit and Jody got married – should I known we'd never get far
Bm A D G
Oh when I look back now - that summer seemed to last forever
Bm A D G
And if I had the choice - ya I'd always wanna be there
Bm A Riff 1
Those were the best days of my life
D A
Ain't no use complaining - when ya gotta job to do
D
Spent my evenings down at the drive in
A
And that's when I met you – ya
Bm A
Standing on your mamma's porch -
D G
You told me that you'd wait forever
Bm A D G
And when I held your hand - I knew that it was now or never
Bm A Riff 1
Those were the best days of my life
Riff 1
Back in the summer of '69
F Bb
Man we were killing time
C Bb
We were young and reckless - we needed to unwind
F Bb C
I guess nothing can last forever...

And now the times are changing
Look at everything that's come and gone
Riff 1
Sometimes when I play that old six string
I think about you wonder what went wrong
Bm A
Standing on your mamma's porch -
D G
You told me that you'd wait forever
Bm A D G
And when I held your hand - I knew that it was now or never
Bm A Riff 1
Those were the best days of my life
Riff 1
Back in the summer of '69
