Bryan Adams - Summer of '69
D A

I got my first real six-string
|

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

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
|
D Aadd9
|
Ain't no use in complainin'
|
A Dadd9
|
When you got a job to do
|

|
Spent my evenings down
|
Aadd9 A
|
at the drive-in
|
A Bm
|
And that's when I met you yeah!
|
Bm A D
|
Standin' on your mama's porch
|

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

Oh and when you held my hand

I knew that it was now or never

We needed to unwind

I guess nothin' can last forever,

Forever, no

And now the times are changin'

Look at everything that's

that old six-string

Think about you wonder

Standin' on your mama's porch
