Bryan Adams

Tom: D

D                                  A
   I got my first real six string - brought it at the five & dime
  D                               A
   Played it til my fingers bled - was the summer of '69
  D                              A
   Me and some guys from school - had a band and we tried real hard
  D                                 A 
   jimmy quit and Jody got married - shoulda known we'd never get far

 Bm          A              D                      G
   Oh when I look back now - that summer seemed to last forever
 Bm         A               D              G
   And if I had the choice - ya I'd always wanna be there
 Bm               A               D*   A*
   Those were the best days of my life

  D                          A
   Ain't no use complaining - when ya gotta job to do
 D                                         A          
   Spent my evenings down at the drive in - and that's when I met you - ya
 Bm                 A              D                       G
   Standing on your mamma's porch - you told me that you'd wait forever
 Bm           A               D                   G
   And when I held your hand - I knew that it was now or never
 Bm               A               D*   A*                       D*  A*
   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 reckless - we needed to unwind
 F         Bb                  C
   I guess nothing can last forever...

   D* A* D* A*

 D
   And now the times are changin'
 A
   Look at everything that's come and gone
 D
   Sometimes when I play that old six string
 A
   I think about you wonder what went wrong

 Bm                 A              D                 G
   Standing on your nanna's porch - you told me it'd last forever
 Bm           A               D                   G
   And when I held your hand - I knew that it was now or never
 Bm               A                    D* A*                       D*  A*
   Those were the best days of my life -  back in the summer of '69
