 D                                A      
   I got my first real six string - bought 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 for ever     
   Bm         A               D              G     
   And if I had the choice - ya I'd always wanna be there

   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

 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...
