Bryan Adams – Summer of 69 Chords

I got my first real four string
Bought it at the Five and Dime
Played it till my fingers bled
It was the summer of sixty nine

Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Himmy quit… Hodie got married
Shoulda known… we’d never get far

Oh, when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah I’d always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

Ain’t no use in complaining
When you’ve got a job to do
Spent my evening’s down at the drivein
And that’s when I met you, yeah

Standing 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

Man we were killing time
We were young and restless… we needed to unwind
I guess nothing can last forever… forever… no

And now the times are changing
Look at everything that’s come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old fourstring
I think about ya, wonder what went wrong

Standing 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
