^D I got my first real six-string ^A Bought it at the five-and-dime ^D Played 'til my fingers bled ^A It was summer of '69

^D Me and some guys from school ^A Had a Band and we tried real hard ^D Jimmy quit and Jody got married ^A I shualda known we'd never get far

Bm A Oh when I look back now D G That was seemes to last forever Bm A And if I had the choice D G Ya - I'd always wanna be there Bm A Those were the best days of my life D – A

^D Ain't no use in complainin' ^A When you got a job to do ^D Spent my evenin's down at the drive in ^A And that's when I met you

Bm A Standin on a mama's porch D G You told me that you'd wait forever Bm A Oh and when you held my hand D G I knew that it was now or never Bm A Those were the best days of my life D A D – A (Oh yeah) Back in the summer of 69’ F A# Man we were killin' time

We were young an^Cd restless We neede^A#d to unwind F A# C I guess nothin' can last forever, forever no

D – A D – A

^D And now the times are changin' ^A Look at everything that's come and gone ^D Somethimes when I play that old six-string ^A I think about ya wonder what went wrong
