Summer Of 69 Chords & Lyrics - Petr Poláček

[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

[D]Me and some guys from school
[A]Had a band and we tried real hard
[D]Jimmy quit and Jody got married
[A]I shoulda known we'd never get far

[Bm]Oh when I look back now
[D]That summer seemed to last forever
[Bm]And if I had the choice
[D]Ya - I'd always wanna be there
[Bm]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-ya

[Bm]Standin' on your[A] Mama's porch
[D]You told me that you'd [G] wait forever
[Bm]Oh and when you [A] held my hand
[D]I knew that it was [G] now or never
[Bm]Those were the [A] best days of my [D] life

[F]Man we were[Am]killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
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 ya wonder what went wrong

Standin' on your Mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69
