Summer of '69
Bryan Adams
D
I got my first real six-string
A
Bought it at the five-and-dime
D
Played it till 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
should have known we'd never get far
Bm
Oh when I
A
look back now
D
That summer seemed to
G
last forever
Bm
And if I
A
had the choice
D
Ya - I'd always
G
wanna be there
Bm
Those were the
A
best days of my
D
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
Bm
Standing on a
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

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

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

mama's porch...
