D I got my first real six-string A Bought it at the five-and-dime D Played 'til my fingers bled A It was summer of '69 D Me and some guys from school A Had a Band and we tried real hard D Jimmy quit and Jody got married A I shualda known we'd never get far Bm A Oh when I look back now D G That summer seem to last forever Bm A And if I had the choice D G Ya - I'd always wanna be there Bm A D Those were the best days of my life
