     I got my first real six-string
G
     Bought it at the five-and-dime
C
     Played 'til my fingers bled
G
     It was summer of '69

C
    Me and some guys from school
G
    Had a Band and we tried real hard
C
    Jimmy quit and Jody got married
G
    I shoulda known we'd never get far

Am              G
       Oh when I look back now
C                       F
       That was seemes to last forever
Am             G
       And if I had the choice
C                      F
       Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Am                     G
        Those were the best days of my life

C - G

C
       Ain't no use in complainin'
G
       When you got a job to do
C
        Spent my evenin's down at the drive in
G
       And that's when I met you


Am                G
       Standin on a mama's porch
C                                  F
       You told me that you'd wait forever
Am                         G
       Oh and when you held my hand


C                         F
       I knew that it was now or never
Am                     G
       Those were the best days of my life

C                            G                      


     (Oh yeah)           Back in the summer of 69'

        Man we were killin' time
                C
We were young and restless
        Bb
We needed to unwind
F               Bb                      C                       
         I guess nothin' can last forever, forever no

C
