Summer of 69 Guitar Chords
{D*} I got my first real six string – brought {A*} it at the five & dime
{D*} played it til my fingers bled – was the {A*} summer of ’69
{D*} me and some guys from school had a {A*} band and we tried real hard
{D*} jimmy quit and jody got married – shoulda {A*} known we’d never get far
{Bm} oh when i look ba{A}ck now – that sum{D}mer seemed to last {G} for ever
{Bm} and if i had the {A} choice – ya i’d {D} always wanna be the{G}re
{Bm} those were the {A} best days of my life {D*} {A*}
{D*} ain’t no use complaining – when {A*} ya gotta job to do
{D*} spent my evenings down at the drive in – and {A*} that’s when i met you – yeA
{Bm} standing on your mamma’s p{A}orch – you to{D}ld me that you’d wait for{G}ever
{Bm} and when i held yo{A}ur hand – i knew {D} that it was now or ne{G}ver
