Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams

[G] I got my first real six-string
[D] Bought it at the five-and-dime
[G] Played it till my fingers bled
[D] It was the summer of '69

[G] Me and some guys from school
[D] Had a band and we tried real hard
[G] Jimmy quit and Jody got married
[D] I shoulda known we'd never get far

[Em] Oh when I [D] look back now
[G] That summer seemed to [C] last forever
[Em] And if I [D] had the choice
[G] Ya - I'd always [C] wanna be there
[Em] Those were the [D] best days of my [G] life

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

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

Back in the summer of '69

[Bb} Man we were [Eb] killin' time
We were [F] young and restless
We [Eb] needed to unwind
[Bb] I guess [Eb] nothin' can last [F] forever - forever, no

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

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

Back in the summer of '69
