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 Me and some guys from school Had a band and we tried real hard Jimmy quit and Jody got married I should've known we'd never get far Chorus: 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 Ain't no use in complainin' When you got a job to do I spent my evenings down at the drive-in And that's when I met you, yeah Chorus: 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 Oh, yeah Back in the summer of '69, oh Ohhh F A# Man, we were killin' time C We were young and restless A#/D We needed to unwind F A# C I guess nothin' can last forever, forever no 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 you, wonder what went wrong Chorus: Standin' on your mama's porch You told me that it'd last forever Oh, and when you held my hand I knew that it was now or never Those were the best days of my life Oh, yeah Back in the summer of '69, uh-huh It was the summer of '69, oh, yeah Me and my baby in '69, oh, oh It was the summer, summer, summer of '69 (Yeah) You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  A#  C  D  F  G  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
