Summer of 69 (Classic Version) chords
Start Jamming...
[D] I got my first real [A] six string, bought it at the five and [D] dime
Laid it till my fingers [A] bled, was the summer of 69
[D] Me and some guys from [A] school, had a fan and we tried real [D] hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got [A] married, should've known we'd never get [Bm] far
Oh [A] and look back now, [D] this love [G] must be last [Bm] forever
And [A] if I had a [D] choice, yeah [G] I was more upbeat
[Bm] Those [A] were the best days of [D] my life
[A] Hey!
[D] Ain't no use in [A] complaining, when you got a job to [D] do
They made them down after [A] driving, and that's when I met [Bm] you, yeah
Hanging [A] on your mama's porch, [D] you told me [G] that you'd wait [Bm] forever
Oh [A] and when you held my hand, [D] I knew [G] that it was now or [Bm] never
Those [A] were the best days of [D] my life, [A] oh yeah
Back in the summer [D] of 69,
[A] [F] man we [Bb] were killing time
We [C] were young and restless, [Bb] we needed someone
[F] Something [Bb] that could last [C] forever, forever
[D]
[A] [D]
[A] [D] And now the times are [A] changing, look at everything that's come and gone
[D] Sometimes when I play that old six [A] string, think about you and wonder what went [Bm] wrong
Hanging [A] on your mama's porch, [D] you told me [G] that it'd last forever
[Bm] Oh [A] and 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 [D] in the summer of 69, uh [A] huh
[D]
[A]
[D] 69, [A] [D]
it [A] was gone
Sweet, sweet summer [D] time

[D] 69, uh [A]
[D] [A] huh
