SUMMER OF 69 CHORDS

[Verse]

[D] I got my first real six string
[A] Bought it at the five and dime
[D] Played it til my fingers bled
[A] Was the summer of ’69

[Verse] [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 shoulda known we’d never get far

[Chorus] [Bm] Oh, when I [A]look back now
[D] That summer seemed to [G]last forever
[Bm ]And if I [A]had the choice
[D] Ya, I’d always [G}wanna be there
[Bm] Those were the [A]best days of
my [D]life

Music

[D] [A]

[Verse]

[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, ya

[Chorus] [Bm] Standin’ on your [A]mama’s porch
[D] You told me that you’d [G]wait forever
[Bm]Oh, and when you [A]held my hand
[D] I knew that it was [G]now or never
[Bm] Those were the [A]best days of
my [D]life
[D] Oh Yea[A]h!
Back in the summer of [D]’69

[A]Oh!

[Bridge]

[F] Man, we were [Bb]killin’ time
We were [C]young and restless
We [Bb]needed to unwind
[F] I guess [Bb]nothin’ can last fo[C]rever
Forever, no Yeah!

[Verse]

[D] And now the times are changin’
[A] Look at everything that’s come and gone
[D] Sometimes when I play that old
six string
[A] I think about ya ‘n wonder what went wrong

[Chorus ]

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

[Outro]

[D] Oh yea[A]h
Back in the summer of [D]’69 uh [A]huh
