C                   G
I got my first real six-string
Am                      F
Bought it at the five-and-dime
C                     G
Played it 'til my fingers bled
Am                       F
It was summer of '69

C                      G
Me and some guys from school
Am                            F
Had a band and we tried real hard
C                      G
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
Am                     F
I should've known we'd never get far

C                 G
Oh, when I look back now
Am                   F
That summer seemed to last forever
C                     G
And if I had the choice
Am                   F
Yeah, I'd always wanna be there

C                     G
In those were the best days of my life
Am                F
Oh yeah, back in the summer of '69
