I got my first real six string - bought it at the five & dime
DA
Played it til my fingers bled - was the summer of '69
DA
Me and some guys from school had a band and we tried real hard
DA
jimmy quit and Jody got married - shoulda known we'd never get far
BmADG
Oh when I look back now - that summer seemed to last for ever
BmADG
And if I had the choice - ya I'd always wanna be there
BmADsus2DDsus4DDsus2DAsus2AAsus4AAsus2A
Those were the best days of my life
DA
Ain't no use complaining - when ya gotta job to do
DA
Spent my evenings down at the drive in - and that's when I met you - ya
BmADG
Standing on your mamma's porch - you told me that you'd wait forever
BmADG
And when I held your hand - I knew that it was now or never

FBb
Man we were killin' time
CDm
We were young and reckless - we needed to unwind
FBbC
I guess nothing can last forever...

And now the times are changin'
A
Look at everything that's come and gone
D
Sometimes when I play my old six string
A
I think about you wonder what went wrong
BmADG
Standing on your mama's porch - you told me it'd last forever
BmADG
And when I held your hand - I knew that it was now or never
