I got my first real six string

Bought it at the five and dime

Played it til my fingers bled

Was the summer of '69

D5 A5

Me and some guys from school

D5

Had a band and we tried real hard

A5

Jimmy quit and Jody got married

I shoulda known we'd never get far

B5 A5

But when I look back now

D5 G5

That summer seemed to last forever

B5 A5

And if I had the choice

D5 G5

Yeah - I'd always wanna be there

B5 A5~

Those were the best days of my life

D5, A5, D5, A5

D5 A5

Ain't no use in complainin'

D5

When you got a job to do

A5

Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in

And that's when I met you - yeah

B5 A5

Standin' on your mama's porch

D5 G5

You told me that you'd wait forever

B5 A5

Oh and when you held my hand

D5 G5

I knew that it was now or never

B5 A5~ D5, A5

Those were the best days of my life

D5 A5

Oh yeah, back in the summer of 69

F5 A#5

Yeah, we were killin' time

C5

We were young and restless

A#5

We needed to unwind

F5 A#5 C5

I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no...

D5 A5

And now the times are a-changin'

D5

Look at everything that's come and gone

A5

Every time I play that old six string

I think about ya'n wonder what went wrong

B5 A5

Standin' on your mama's porch, that’s right

D5 G5

You told me we’d would last forever

B5 A5

Oh the way you held my hand

D5 G5

I knew that it was now or never

B5 A5~

Those were the best days of my life

D5, A5, D5, A5, D5, A5, D5, A5, D5, A5, D5, A5
