_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Hello! _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I said hello!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] Have you all enjoyed the [G] concert this evening, yeah? _ _ _ _ _
Would you all
like to hear a little bit more tonight? _ _ _ _
[Dm] Would you [E] all like to hear _ [Gm] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ Polly in this big field
[G] tonight, right?
_ _ _ [N] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
All you've got to do is clap your hands, like this.
Come on, everybody!
[E] _ _ _ [N] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] You know, clap your hands! _
_ _ And say after me! _
Rock and roll! _ _ _ _
Rock and roll! _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ Rock _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ and_ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ got my first real six [A]-string,
_ on it for five and [D] dime.
_ _ Playin' it till my fingers break.
[A] It was the summer of _ [D] 69.
_ Me and Nancy got stuck in [A] school.
Had a band that we tried to be a holler.
[D] _ Very quick, until they got married.
[A] _ Should've known we'd never get [Bm] far.
_ _ Oh, but [A] when I look back [D] now,
the song [G] must seem to last [Bm] forever.
_ _ [A] And if I had a [D] choice,
_ oh, [G] I'd always wanna be [Bm] there.
Those [A] were the best days [D] of my life. _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ Ain't no use in [A] complainin'
_ when you got a job to [D] do.
I spent my evenings down at the drive [A]-in.
_ _ _ I met you, [Bm] yeah,
_ standin' [A] on your mama's foot.
[D] _ You told me [G] that it'd last forever.
[Bm] _ Yeah, [A] when you held my hand,
[D] _ I knew that [G] it was now or never.
[Bm] _ Those were [A] the best days of [D] my life. _ _ _ _
Oh, [A] yeah!
_ _ _ Back in the [Em] summer [D] of 69. _ _ _ _
Oh, [A] yeah! _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ Man, we [Bb] were killin' time
when [C] we're young and restless.
[Bb] Needed [C] to [F] unwind.
_ I [Bb] guess nothing lasts [C] forever. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] Forever!
And now the times are _ [A] changin'.
Look at everything that's comin' down.
[D] _ Sometimes I still pray that old sick [A] trick.
I think about you and wonder what went [Bm] wrong.
_ _ Standin' on [A] your mama's [D] porch.
You told [G] me that it'd last [Bm] forever.
_ _ Yeah, when [A] you held my [D] hand,
I [G] knew that it was now or _ [Bm] _ never.
Those [Am] were the best days [D] of my life. _ _ _
_ [A] Oh, yeah! _ _ _
Back in the summer [D] of 69. _ _ _
Oh, [A] yeah!
_ _ Me and my baby!
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ It was the summer [D] of 69. _ _ _ _
