Summer of 69 Brian Adams # 0 25 - 2

D A

I got my first real six string bought it at the five & dime

D A

Played it till my fingers bled was the summer of '69

D A

me and some guys from school had a band and we tried real hard

D A

Jimmy quit and Jody got married shoulda known we'd never get far

Bm A D G

Oh when I look back now - that summer seemed to last for ever

Bm A D G

and if I had the choice - ya i'd always wanna be there

Bm A D A

those were the best days of my life

D A

ain't no use complaining when ya gotta job to do

D A

spent my evenings down at the drive in and that's when I met you - ya

Bm A D G

standing on your mamma's porch you told me that you'd wait forever

Bm A D G

and when I held your hand - I knew that it was now or never

Bm A D A D A

those were the best days of my life - back in the summer of '69

F Bb

man we were killin' time

C Bb F

we were young and reckless - we needed to unwind

F Bb C

I guess nothing can last forever...

D A

and now the times are changin' look at everything that's come and gone

D

sometimes when I play my old six string

A

I think about you wonder what went wrong

Bm A D G

standing on your manna's porch - you told me it'd last forever

Bm A D G

and when I held your hand - I knew that it was now or never

Bm A D A D A

those were the best days of my life - back in the summer of '69
