I got my first real six-string,      

                                D1+5 
bought it at the five and dime.      

                                 A1+5                          D1+5 
Played it 'till my fingers bled,      it was the summer of 69.      

                             A1+5 
Me and some guys from school      

                                   D1+5 
had a band and we tried real hard.      

                              A1+5 
Jimmy quit, Jody got married.

Oh, n'when I look back now.   That summer seemed to last forever.    

         A               D            G               Bm 
And if I had the choice,   I'd always wanna be there.    

               A               D          
Those were the best days of my life. ----

                             A                           D 
Ain't no use in complainin',   when you got a job to do.   

                                          A 
I spent my evenin's down at the drive-in.   

                           Bm 
And that's when I met you.    

[Refrain 2:]

                 A             D 
Standin' on your mama's porch.   

                       G             Bm 
You told me that you'd wait forever.    

                 A             D                     G             Bm 
Oh, and when you held my hand,   I knew, that it was now or never.    

               A               D                 A 
Those were the best days of my life. Yeah, yeah!

Back in the summer of 69. Oh! ---- ----

Man, we were killin' time, we were restless we needed to unwind.   

        Bb                   C             
I guess nothing can last forever, forever!

[Vers 3:]

                           A 
Now the times are changin'   

                                         D 
look at everything that's come and gone.   

                                             A 
Sometimes when I played that old six-string.   

                                         Bm 
I think 'bout ya wonder what went wrong.
