[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]I got
my first real six -string
[D]Bought it out of five -and -dime
[G]Played until my fingers split
[D]It was the summer of sixty -nine
[G]Me and some guys from school
[D]Had a band, we tried real hard
[G]Jimmy quit, Jody got married
[D]I should've known
we'd never get far
[Em]When I look [D]back at now
[G]The summers seem to [C]last forever
[Em]And if I h[D]ave a choice, yeah
[G]I'd always [C]wanna be there
[Em]Those were the [D]best days of my [G]life[D]
Back in the summer of [G]sixty [D]-nine[G]
Ain't no use in complaining
[D]When you got a job to do
[G]I spent my evenings down in a traffic
[D]An d that's where I met you, girl
[Em]Standing on your [D]mama's porch
[G]You told me that you'd
[C]wait [Em]forever
And when you [D]held my hand
[G]I knew that it w[C]as now or never
[Em]Those were the [D]best
days of my [G]life[D]
Back in the summer of [G]69[D]
Oh yeah
[Bb]Man, we were [Eb]killing time
We were [F]young and restless
We [Eb]need it to unwind
[Bb]I guess that nothing[Eb] can
last [F]forever
Forever, [G]no
And now the times are changing
[D]Look at everything's that
come and gone
[G]Sometimes when I play that old six string
[D]I think about you and what we're born
[Em]Standing on your mama'[D]s porch
[G]You told me that you'd [C]wait [Em]forever
And when you [D]held my hand
[G]I knew that it was n[C]ow or never
[Em]Those were the best [D]days of my life[G][D]
Back in the summer of [G]69, oh [D]yeah
Back in the summer of [G]69, oh [D]yeah
Back in the summer of [G]sixty -nine

[Outro 1]
