Bryan Adams - Summer of '69
[D]I got my first real
six-string,
[A]Bought it at the five-and-dime,
[D]Played it till my
fingers bled,
[A]It was the summer of '69.
[D]Me and some guys from school
[A]Had a band
and we tried real hard,
[D]Jimmy quit and Jody got married,
[A]I should've
known we'd never get far.
[Hm]Oh when I [A]look back now,
[D]That
summer seemed to [G]last forever,
[Hm]And if I [A]had the choice,
[D]Yeah,
I'd always [G]wanna be there,
[Hm]Those were the [A]best days of my
[D]life.
e|-0---2---3---2-0-2-| h|-0---2---3---2-0-2-|
[D]Ain't no use in complaining
[A]When you got
a job to do,
[D]Spent my evenings down at the drive-in
[A]And that's when
I met you, yeah.
[Hm]Standin' on your [A]Mama's porch
[D]You
told me that you'd [G]wait forever,
[Hm]Oh, and when you [A]held my
hand
[D]I knew that it was [G]now or never,
[Hm]Those were the [A]best
days of my [D]life.
e|-0---2---3---2-0-2-| h|-0---2---3---2-0-2-| e|-0---2---3---2-0-2-| h|-0---2---3---2-0-2-| Oh yeah, Back in the summer of '69.
[F]Man we were [B]killing time,
We were
[C]young and restless,
We [B]needed to unwind,
[F]I guess [B]nothing can
last for[C]ever, forever, no.

[D]And now the times are changing,
[A]Look at
everything that's come and gone,
[D]Sometimes when I play that old
six-string
[A]I think about you, wonder what went wrong.
[Hm]Standin' on your [A]Mama's porch
[D]You
told me that it'd [G]last forever,
[Hm]Oh, the way you [A]held my
hand
[D]I knew that it was [G]now or never,
[Hm]Those were the [A]best
days of my [D]life.
