Bryan Adams – Summer Of 69 (Ukulele)

D
    I got my first real six-string

A
    Bought it at the five-and-dime

D
    Played it 'til my fingers bled

A
    Was the summer of '69

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

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
    Those were the best days of my life

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

Bm                A
    Standin on a 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
    Those were the best days of my life

D                            A                      D – A
     (Oh yeah)           Back in the summer of 69’

F                    Bb
        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

D
   And now the times are changin'

A
   Look at everything that's come and gone

D
   Somethimes when I play that old six-string

A
   I think about ya, wonder what went wrong

Bm                A
    Standin on a 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
    Those were the best days of my life

D                            A                      D – A
     (Oh yeah)           Back in the summer of 69’
