 D                                A      
   I got my first real six string - bought it at the five & dime     
 D                               A      
   Played it til my fingers bled - was the summer of '69     
 D                             A      
   Me and some guys from school had a band and we tried real hard     
 D                                 A      
   jimmy quit and Jody got married - shoulda known we'd never get far     

 Bm          A              D                      G     
   Oh when I look back now - that summer seemed to last for ever     
   Bm         A               D              G     
   And if I had the choice - ya I'd always wanna be there     
   G              A                Dsus2 D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D Asus2 A  Asus4 A  Asus2  A      
   Those were the best days of my life     

 D                          A      
   Ain't no use complaining - when ya gotta job to do     
 D                                        A      
   Spent my evenings down at the drive in - and that's when I met you - ya     
   Bm                 A              D                       G     
   Standing on your mamma's porch - you told me that you'd wait forever     
   Bm           A               D                   G     
   And when I held your hand - I knew that it was now or never     
   Bm               A               Dsus2 D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D Asus2 A  Asus4 A  Asus2  A     
   Those were the best days of my life - back in the summer of '69     

 F             Bb     
   Man we were killin' time     
           C                       Bb     
   We were young and reckless - we needed to unwind     
 F         Bb                  C     
   I guess nothing can last forever...

 D      
   And now the times are changin'     
 A      
   Look at everything that's come and gone     
 D      
   Sometimes when I play my old six string     
 A      
   I think about you wonder what went wrong     

   Bm                A              D                   G     
   Standing on your mama's porch - you told me it'd last forever     
   Bm           A               D                   G     
   And when I held your hand - I knew that it was now or never
