Summer of '69 — Bryan Adams

Intro Verse:

I got my first real six-string Bought it at the five-and-dime Played it till my fingers bled 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

Oh when I look back now That summer seemed to last forever And if I had the choice Yeah, I'd always wanna be there 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

Back in the summer of '69

Middle 8:

Man we were killin' time We were young and restless We needed to unwind 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

repeat chorus til fade
