Summer of '69
Bryan Adams
D A
I got my first real six string, bought it at the five and dime
D A
Played it 'til my fingers bled. Was the summer of '69
D A
Me and some guys from school had a band and we tried real hard
D A
Jimmy quit and Jody got married; I should've known we'd never get far
Bm A D G
But when I look back now, that summer seemed to last forever
Bm A D G
And if I had the choice, yeah, I'd always wanna be there
Bm A D
Those were the best days of my life
| D | D | A | A |
D A
Ain't no use in complaining when you got a job to do
D A
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in, and that's when I met you, yeah!
Bm A D G
Standing on your mama's porch, you told me that you'd wait forever
Bm A D G
Oh, and when you held my hand, I knew that it was now or never
Bm A D
Those were the best days of my life
A D A
Oh yeah, back in the summer of sixty-nine
F Bb C Bb
Man, we were killing time, we were young and restless, we needed to unwind
F Bb C
I guess nothing can last forever, forever, no
| D | D | A | A | (2 times)
D A
And now the times are changing, look at everything that's come and gone
D A
Sometimes when I play that old six string, I think about you, wonder what went wrong
Bm A D G
Standing on your mama's porch, you told me it would last forever
Bm A D G
Oh, the way you held my hand, I knew that it was now or never
Bm A D
Those were the best days of my life
A D A
Oh yeah, back in the summer of sixty-nine
| D | D | A | A | (repeat and fade)
