Here it is!

Song: Summer of 69

Artist: MxPx (Magnified Plaid)

Album: On The Cover

Original Artist: Bryan Adams

	C
	I got my first real six-string

	G
	Bought it at the five and dime

	C
	Played it till my fingers bled

	G
	It was the summer of '69

	C
	Me and some guys from school

	G
	Had a band and we tried real hard

	C
	Jimmy quit and Joey got married

	G
	I shoulda known we'd never get far

	A	G
	Oh when I	look back now

	C	F
	that summer seemed to	last forever

	A	G
	And if I	had the choice

	C	F
	Yeah - I'd always	wanna be there

	A	G
	Those were the	best days of my life

	C
	Ain't no use in complaining

	G
	When you got a job to do

	C
	Spent my evenings down at the drive-in

	G
	And that's when I met you

	A	G
	Standin' on your	daddy's porch

	C	F
	You told me that you'd	wait forever

	A	G
	Oh and when you	held my hand

	C	F
	I knew that it was	now or never

	A	G
	Those were the	best days of my life

	G	C	G
	Back in the summer of	'69

	F	C
	Man, we were	killin time

	G
We were	young and restless

	A
We	needed to unwind

	F	C	G	C
	I guess	nothin' can last for	ever - forever,	no

G, C, G

	C
	And now the times are changing

	G
	Look at everything that's come and gone

	C
	Sometimes I play that old six-string

	G
	I think about ya wonder what went wrong

	A	G
	Standing on your	Daddy's porch

	C	F
	You told me it would	last forever

	A	G
	The way you	held my hand

	C	F
	I knew that it was	now or never

A G C, G

Those were the best days of my life

	C	G
Back in the summer of '	69
