Summer of 69
Written By: Bryan Adams

	D						A
I got my first real six string - Bought it at the five & dime
Played 'til my fingers bled - It was summer of '69

Me and some guys from school - Had a Band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit, Jody got married - Should-a known we'd never get far

Bm		A		    D			             G
Oh when I look back now - That summer seems to last forever
And if I had the choice - Yeah, I'd always wanna be there
Bm		     A
Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin' - When you got a job to do
Spent my evening's down at the drive in - That's when I met you       

Standin on a 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’

F		  Bb
Man we were killin' time
          C		        	    Bb
We were young and restless - We needed to unwind
F	          Bb		         C			
	I guess nothin' can last forever, forever no

Now the times are changin - Look at everything that's come & gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong

Standin on a 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’
