[Intro] D [Verse 1]
D
   I got my first real six-string

A
   Bought it at the five-and-dime

D
   Played it 'til my fingers bled

A
   It was the summer of '69
[Verse 2]
D
   Me and some guys from school

A
   Had a band and we tried real hard

D
   Jimmy quit, Jody got married

A
   I shoulda known we'd never get far
[Chorus 1]
Bm             A
    Oh, when I look back now

D                         G
    That summer seemed to last forever

Bm           A
    And if I had the choice

D                    G
    Yeah, I'd always wanna be there

Bm                 A               D
    Those were the best days of my life
[Instrumental] (D) A [Verse 3]
D
    Ain't no use in complainin'

A
    When you got a job to do

D
    Spent my evenin's down at the drive in

A
    And that's when I met you, yeah
[Chorus 2]
Bm                   A
    Standin' on your mama's porch

D                          G
    You told me that you'd wait forever

Bm                   A
    Oh, and when you held my hand

D                      G
    I knew that it was now or never

Bm                 A               D
    Those were the best days of my life

(D)            A                               D       A
         Oh yeah        Back in the summer of '69     Ohhh
[Bridge]
F               Bb
   Man, we were killin' time

        C
We were young and restless

   Bb/D
We needed to unwind

F          Bb                  C
   I guess nothin' can last forever, forever no
[Instrumental] D A x2 [Verse 4]
D
   And now the times are changin'

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
[Chorus 3]
Bm                   A
    Standin' on your mama's porch

D                         G
    You told me that it'd last forever

Bm                   A
    Oh, and when you held my hand

D                      G
    I knew that it was now or never

Bm                 A               D
    Those were the best days of my life
[Outro]
