Bryan Adams
Summer of '69

[D]I got my first real six-string
[A]Bought it at a five-and-dime
[D]Played it til my fingers bled
[A]It 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
I shoulda known we'd never get far

višlag
[Bm]Oh when I [A]look back now
[D]that summer seemed to [G]last forever
[Bm]Oh and if I [A]had a choice
[D]Yeah I'd [G]always wanna be there
[Bm]Those were the [A]best days of my [D]life

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

višlag
Standin 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 [A]best days of my [D]life

[Asus4]back [A]in the [Asus2]summer [A]of [D]'69

[F]Man we were [Bb]killing time
we were [C]young and restless we [Bb]needed to un[F]wind
I guess [Bb]nothin' can last for[C]ever- forever;[D] no

[Asus2 A Asus4 A Asus2 A]

And now the times are changing
look at everything thats come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about you wonder what went wrong

višlag
Standin' on your mama's porch
you told me it would last forever
oh the way 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
