Bryan Adams – Summer Of ’69   (Reckless (1984))

Dsus2, D, Dsus4, D, Dsus2, D;   Asus2, A, Asus4, A, Asus2, A (x2)

D                                            A    

I got my first real 6-string, bought it at the five-and-dime

Played it till my fingers bled, 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, shoulda known we’d never get far

Bm                 A                      D                                       G

  But when I look back now,       The summer seemed to last forever

  And if I had the choice,   Yeah, I’d always wanna be there

Bm                        A                         D riff A riff

  Those were the best days of my life

Ain’t no use in complainin’, when you got a job to do

Spent my evenin’s down at the drive-in, & that’s when I met you, yeah

Standin’ on your mama’s porch, You told me it would last forever

And when you held my hand,    I knew that it was now or never

Those were the best days of my life, Back in the summer of ’69

F                       Bb                  

Man we were killin’ time    

                  C                              Bb

We were young and restless, we needed to unwind

F           Bb                          C         Bb        D riff   A riff

I guess nothin’ can last forever… forever

& now the times are changin’- look at everything that’s come and gone

Sometimes when I play my old 6-string,

        I think about ya wonder what went wrong

[chorus]

It was the summer of ’69,   Just me and my baby in ’69

Yeah, it was the summer of, summer of ’69,  

It was the summer of love….
