Bryan Adams - Summer Of '69

Intro: D5

Intro Verse:

D
I got my first real six-string
A
Bought it at the five-and-dime
D
Played it till my fingers bled
A
It was the summer of '69


Verse 1: (same as before)

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


Bridge:
Bm A
Oh when I look back now
D G A
That summer seemed to last forever
Bm A
And if I had the choice
D G A
Yeah, I'd always wanna be there
Bm A5 (N.C.) D A5
Those were the best days of my life.


Verse 2:(same as before)

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


Bridge 2:(same as before)

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 best days of my life

chorus:

D A5
Back in the summer of '69


Middle 8:

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!


instrumantal: (D - A5) 2 times



Verse 3:(same as the others)

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


Bridge 3:(same as the others)

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
