   [Verse]

D5                             
I got my first real six string ,
A5
Bought it at the five and dime

D5                             
Played it till my fingers bled,
A5
Was the summer of '69
 
 
   [Verse 2]
D                             
Ma and some guys from school ,
A
Had a band and we tried real hard

D                                
Jimmy quit and Jody got married ,
A
I shoulda know we'd never get far
 
 
   [Chorus]

Bm         A
But when I look back now
D                     G
That summer seemed to last forever
Bm       A
And if I had a choice
D              G
Ya, I'd always wanna be there
Bm             A               D
Those were the best days of my life

   [Verse 3]
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, ya
 
 
   [Chorus]

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  D  D5  D  Dsus4   D  D5   D
Those were the best days of my life

   [Bridge]

F            Bb
Man, we were killin' time
        C
We were young and restless
             Bb
We needed to unwind
F       Bb/D             C
I guess nothing can last forever,Forever

   [Verse 4]
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 ya 'n 

Wonder what went wrong

Bm               A
Standin' on your mama's porch

You told me that you'd wait forever
Bm               A
Oh, and when you held my hand

I knew that it was now or never
Bm             A               D  D  D5  D  Dsus4   D  D5   D
