°         D                    A
I got my first real six-string
°                 A            D
Bought it at the five-and-dime
°                  D           A
Played it till my fingers bled
°                  A         D
Was the summer of sixty-nine
°            D               A
Me and some guys from school
°                   A             D
Had a band and we tried real hard
°           D                A
Jimmy quit, Jody got married
°                    A             Bm
I shoulda known we’d never get far

°            A          D
Oh when I look back now
°                     G           Bm
The summer seemed to last forever
°         A             D
And if I had the choice
°                G             Bm
Yeah I’d always wanna be there

°               A               D
Those were the best days of my life

D A A D

°        D                  A
Ain’t no use in complainin’
°               A        D
When you got a job to do
°                  D                   A
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in
°               A               Bm
And that’s when I met you, yeah

°                 A           D
Standin’ on your mama’s porch
°                       G           Bm
You told me that you’d wait forever
°                 A           D
Oh, and when you held my hand
°                   G           Bm
I knew that it was now or never
°               A               D   D
Those were the best days of my life

°   A   A
Oh yeah
°                      D         D A
Back in the summer of sixty-nine, ooh

A F

°            A#
Man we were killing time
°        C
We were young and restless,
°   A#              F
we needed to unwind
°        A#                  C
I guess nothin’ can last for ever,
°  C
forever, no

D D A A    D D A A    D

°            D                 A
And now the times are changin’
°                          A            D
Look at everything that’s come and gone
°                D                        A
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
°                     A               Bm
I think about you and what went wrong

°                 A           D
Standin’ on your mama’s porch
°                      G           Bm
You told me that it’d last forever
°                 A           D
Oh, and when you held my hand
°                   G           Bm
I knew that it was now or never
°               A               D   D
Those were the best days of my life

   A    A
Oh yeah
°                      D         D A  A
Back in the summer of sixty-nine, uuh
°                      D        D    A
