Summer of ’69

Tom:
[Intro] D5

[Primeira Parte]
D5
I got my first real six string
A5
Bought it at the five & dime
D5
Played it til my fingers bled
A5
Was the summer of sixty nine
D5
Me and some guys from school
A5
Had a band and we tried real hard
D5
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
A5
Should've known we'd never get far

[Refrão 1]
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   A
Those were the best days of my life

[Segunda Parte]
D5
Ain't no use complaining
A5
When you've gotta job to do
D5
Spent my evenings down at the drive in
A5
And that's when I met you, yeah

[Refrão 2]
Bm                   A
Standing on your mamma's porch
D                         G
You told me that you'd wait forever
Bm               A
And when you held my hand
D                     G
I knew that it was now or never
Bm                 A               D   A
Those were the best days of my life
                        D         A
Back in the summer of 'sixty nine

[Ponte]
F              Bb
Man we were killin' time
         C
We were young and reckless
    Bb
We needed to unwind
F          Bb                 C
I guess nothing can last forever
( D  A  D  A )

[Terceira Parte]
D5
And now the times are changin'
A5
Look at everything that's come and gone
D5
Sometimes when I play that old six string
A5
I think about you wonder what went wrong

[Refrão 3]
Bm                   A
Standin' on your mama's porch
D                   G
You told me it'd last forever
