I got my first real six string — brought it at the five & 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 — shoulda known we’d never get far
Bm A D G
Oh when i look back now — that summer seemed to last for ever
Bm A D G
And if i had the choice — ya i’d always wanna be there
Bm A D* A*
Those were the best days of my life
D* A*
Ain’t no use complaining — when ya gotta job to do
D* A*
Spent my evenings down at the drive in — and that’s when i met you — ya
Bm A D G
Standing on your mamma’s porch — you told me that you’d wait forever
Bm A D G
And when i held your hand — i knew that it was now or never

Those were the best days of my life — back in the summer of ’69

Man we were killin’ time
C Bb
We were young and reckless — we needed to unwind
F Bb C
I guess nothing can last forever…
