Got my first real six [Ab] string, holding up the five and nine
[Db] Played it till my fingers bled, [Ab] was the summer of 69
[Db] We had some guys from [Ab] school, we had a band and tried to be [Db] high
You were queer, Jimmy got [Ab] married, you were alone, you never gave [Bbm] up
But [Ab] when I look back [Db] now, lots of them are [Gb] still alive
Oh [Bbm] yeah, I, oh [Ab] if I had a choice, [Db] yeah I was wondering [Bbm] if
Those [Ab] were the best days of [Db] my life, let me hear ya

[Db] _ Ain't no music [Ab] playing when you got a job to [Db] do
Spend my evenings down at the [Ab] drive-in, that's when I met you, [Bbm] yeah
Standing [Ab] on your mother's porch, [Db] you told me [Gb] not to wait [Bbm] forever
Oh [Ab] when you held my hand, [Db] I knew that I was on the [Bbm] edge
