Summer of '69
Bryan Adams
D
I got my first real six-string
A
Bought it at a five-and-dime
D
Played it til my fingers bled
A
It was the summer of 69
Me and some guys from school
had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shoulda known we'd never get far
Chorus
G
Oh when I
A
look back now
D
that summer seemed to
G
last forever
G
Oh and if I
A
had a choice
D
Yeah I'd
G
always wanna be there
G
Those were the
A
best days of my
D
life
Ain't no use in complainin'
when you got a job to do
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in
and that's where I met you
Chorus
Standin on your mama's porch
you told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the
A
best days of my
D
life

And now the times are changing
look at everything thats come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about you wonder what went wrong
Chorus
Standin' on your mama's porch
you told me it would last forever
oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of 69
