I got my first real six-string

Played it til my fingers bled

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
Bm A
Oh when I look back now

That summer seemed to last forever

And if I had the choice
D G
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Bm A (Back to intro progression)
Those were the best days of my life
VERSE 3(use intro progression)
Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you
CHORUS (use same chords)
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 best days of my life
(Intro progression)
Back in the summer of '69
BRIDGE
F Bb
Man we were killin' time

We were young and restless
Bb
We needed to unwind
F Bb C
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no
VERSE 4 (Back to intro progression)
And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong
CHORUS (use same chords)
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
