[Estrofe]
D 
  I got my first real six-string 
A 
  Bought it at the five-and-dime 
D 
  Played it 'til my fingers bled 
A 
  It was the summer of '69
[Estrofe]
D 
  Me and some guys from school 
A 
  Had a band and we tried real hard 
D 
  Jimmy quit, Joey got married 
A 
  I shoulda known we'd never get far

Bm            A 
   Oh, when I look back now 
D                        G 
   That 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 
   Those were the best days of my life

[Estrofe]
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, yeah
[Refrão]
Bm                  A 
   Standin' on your mama's porch 
D                         G 
   You told me that you'd wait forever 
Bm                  A 
   Oh, and when you held my hand 
D                     G 
   I knew that it was now or never 
Bm                A               D 
   Those were the best days of my life 
(D)           A                               D       A 
        Oh yeah        Back in the summer of '69     Ohhh
[Puente]
F              Bb 
  Man, we were killin' time 
        C 
We were young and restless 
   Bb 
We needed to unwind 
F         Bb                  C 
  I guess nothin' can last forever, forever no
[Instrumental]
D    A    x2
[Estrofe]
D 
  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 you, wonder what went wrong
[Refrão]
Bm                  A 
   Standin' on your mama's porch

   You told me that it'd last forever 
Bm                  A 
   Oh, and when you held my hand 
D                     G 
   I knew that it was now or never 
Bm                A               D 
   Those were the best days of my life
