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…

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
