D A I got my first real six string, bought it at the five and 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; I should've known we'd never get far Bm A D G But when I look back now, that summer seemed to last forever Bm A D G And if I had the choice, yeah, I'd always wanna be there Bm A D Those were the best days of my life | D | D | A | A | D A Ain't no use in complaining when you got a job to do D A Spent my evenings down at the drive-in, and that's when I met you, yeah! Bm A D G Standing on your mama's porch, you told me that you'd wait forever Bm A D G Oh, and when you held my hand, I knew that it was now or never Bm A D Those were the best days of my life A D A Oh yeah, back in the summer of sixty-nine F Bb C Bb Man, we were killing time, we were young and restless, we needed to unwind F Bb C I guess nothing can last forever, forever, no | D | D | A | A | (2 times) D A And now the times are changing, look at everything that's come and gone D A Sometimes when I play that old six string, I think about you, wonder what went wrong Bm A D G Standing on your mama's porch, you told me it would last forever Bm A D G Oh, the way you held my hand, I knew that it was now or never Bm A D Those were the best days of my life A D A Oh yeah, back in the summer of sixty-nine | D | D | A | A | (repeat and fade)
