D I got my first real six-string A Bought it at the five-and-dime D Played it 'til my fingers bled A It was the summer of '69 Me and some guys from school Had a band and we tried real hard Jimmy quit and Jody got married I should've known we'd never get far Chorus: Bm A Oh, when I look back now D G That summer seemed to last forever Bm A And if I had the choice D G Yeah, I'd always wanna be there Bm A D Those were the best days of my life Ain't no use in complainin' When you got a job to do I spent my evenings down at the drive-in And that's when I met you, yeah Chorus: 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 Oh, yeah Back in the summer of '69, oh Ohhh F A# Man, we were killin' time C We were young and restless A# We needed to unwind F A# C I guess nothin' can last forever, forever no 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 you, wonder what went wrong Chorus: Standin' on your mama's porch You told me that it'd last forever Oh, and when you held my hand I knew that it was now or never Those were the best days of my life Oh, yeah Back in the summer of '69, uh-huh It was the summer of '69, oh, yeah Me and my baby in '69, oh, oh It was the summer, summer, summer of '69 (Yeah) | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA A# C D F G Bm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
