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
