Intro D D D D
D I got my first real four-string A Bought it at the Five and Dime
D Played it till my fingers bled A It was the summer of sixty-nine
D Me and some guys from school A Had a band and we tried real hard
D Jimmy quit... Jodie got married A Shoulda known... we’d never get far
Bm Oh, when I Alook back now D That summer seemed to Glast forever
Bm And if I Ahad the choice D Yeah I’d always Gwanna be there
Bm Those were the Abest days of my Dlife D
D Ain’t no use in complainin’
A When you’ve got a job to do
D Spent my evenin’s down at the drive-in
A And that’s when I met you, yeah
Chorus
Bm Standin’ on your Amama’s porch
D You told me that you’d Gwait forever
Bm Oh and when you Aheld my hand
D I knew that it was Gnow or never
Bm Those were the Abest days of my Dlife...D
oh Ayeah... back in the summer of D69 D
Refrain
F Man we were Bbkillin’ time
We were Cyoung and restless... we Bbneeded to unwind
F I guess Bbnothin’ can last forCever... forever... no
