I got my first real six-string, bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it till my fingers bled, 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, shoulda known we'd never get far

Bm A
But when I look back now
D G
The 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 & A Thing
Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin' when you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in, and that's when I met you, yeah

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
And when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
D & A Thing
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 Bb D & A Thing
I guess nothin' can last forever... forever

And now the times are changin'- look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play my old six-string, I think about ya wonder what went wrong

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
And when 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
It was the summer of '69
Just me and my baby in '69
Yeah, it was the summer of, summer of '69
It was the summer of love....
