Summer Of Sixty Nine - Bryan Adams
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I got my first real six-string, bought it at the five-and-dime
Played til my fingers bled, it was summer of 69
[Chorus 1]
Me and some guys from school, had a Band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married, I shoulda known we d never get far
Oh when I look back now, that summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice, yeah I d always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
[Verse 2]
- -
Ain t no use in complainin , when you got a job to do
-
Spent my evenin s down at the drive-in, and that s when I met you
[Chorus 2]
Standin on a 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?
[Bridge]
Man we were killin time, We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin can last forever, forever no
[Verse 3]

And now the times are changin , look at everything that s come and gone
- ?
Somethimes when I play that old 6-string, I think about you, wonder what went wrong
[Chorus 3]
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
[Outro]
?
(Oh yeah) It was the summer of 69?
(repeat all the way to the end)
