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 '69  

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
Shoulda known, we'd never get far  

Bm        A             D
Oh when I look back now  
D                     G            Bm
That summer seemed to last forever   
Bm       A              D
And if I had the choice  
D                G          A     Bm
Yeah, I'd always want to be there   
Bm             A               D   
Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin'      
A                        Dadd9
When you got a job to do      
      D               
Spent my evenings down

at the drive-in        
A                                Bm
And that's when I met you  yeah!

You told me that
      G            Bm
you'd wait forever   
Bm              A            D
Oh and when you held my hand  
D                  G            Bm
I knew that it was now or never   
               A               D   
Those were the best days of my life

back in the summer of '69  ohhh  

F           Bb          
Man we were killin' time
        C                  
We were young  and restless
   Dm           Bb   F
We needed to unwind   
        Bb                  C    
I guess nothin' can last forever,
   C        D
Forever, no
