Bryan Adams - Summer Of '69: chords

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)
