Summer of ’69

Accordi Summer of ’69

RE                             LA

 I got my first real six-string
                               RE
Bought it at the five-and-dime
                              LA
Played it 'til my fingers bled
                       RE
Was the summer of '69
                             LA
Me and some guys from school
                                  RE
Had a band and we tried real hard
                             LA
Jimmy quit, Jody got married

I should've known we'd never get far

SIm         LA

 Oh, when I look back now
RE                     SOL

 That summer seemed to last forever
SIm       LA

 And if I had the choice
RE                SOL

 Yeah, I'd always wanna be there
SIm             LA              RE    LA

 Those were the best days of my life

RE                           LA

 Ain't no use in complainin'
                             RE
When you've got a job to do
                        
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in
LA 
 And that's when I met you, yeah

SIm               LA

 Standin' on your mama's porch
RE                      SOL

 You told me that you'd wait forever
SIm               LA

 Oh, and when you held my hand
RE                  SOL

 I knew that it was now or never
SIm             LA              RE

 Those were the best days of my life
      LA
Oh, yeah
                       RE   LA

Back in the summer of '69, oh

FA           SIb

 Man we were killin' time
        DO
We were young and restless
   SIb/RE            FA

We needed to unwind
        SIb                DO

I guess nothin' can last forever, 
               
forever, no!

RE     LA     RE    LA

  ...yeah!

RE
 And now the times are changin'
LA
 Look at everything that's come and gone
RE
 Sometimes when I play that old six-string
LA
 I think about you, wonder what went wrong

SIm               LA

 Standin' on your mama's porch
RE                     SOL

 You told me that it'd last forever
SIm               LA

 Oh, and when you held my hand
RE                  SOL

 I knew that it was now or never
SIm             LA              RE

 Those were the best days of my life
      LA
Oh, yeah
                       RE    LA

Back in the summer of '69, oh
                      RE       LA

It was the summer of '69, oh, yeah
                   RE     LA

Me and my baby in '69, ...oh
RE          LA

 It was the summer, the summer, 
               RE   LA

the summer of '69, yeah...
