	D
	I got my first real six-string

	A
	Bought it at a five-and-dime

	D
	Played it til my fingers bled

	A
	It was the summer of 69

Me and some guys from school

had a band and we tried real hard

Jimmy quit and Jody got married

I shoulda known we'd never get far

Chorus

	G	A
	Oh when I	look back now

	D	G
	that summer seemed to	last forever

	G	A
	Oh and if I	had a choice

	D	G
	Yeah I'd	always wanna be there

	G	A	D
	Those were the	best days of my	life

Ain't no use in complainin'

when you got a job to do

Spent my evenings down at the drive-in

and that's where I met you

Chorus

Standin on your mama's porch

you told me that you'd wait forever

Oh and when you held my hand

I knew that it was now or never

	A	D	D	Dsus2	D	Dsus4	D	Dsus2	D
Those were the	best days of my	life

				back	in the	summer	of	'69

Bridge

	F	Bb
	Man we were	killing time

	C	Bb	F
we were	young and restless we	needed to un	wind

	Bb	C	D
I guess	nothin' can last for	ever- forever;	no

And now the times are changing

look at everything thats come and gone

Sometimes when I play that old six-string

I think about you wonder what went wrong

Chorus

Standin' on your mama's porch

you told me it would last forever

oh the way you held my hand

I knew that it was now or never

Those were the best days of my life

Back in the summer of 69
