Strum
D-DU-UDU
I got my first real six-string.
Bought it at a five and dime.
Played it till my fingers bled,
Was the summer of 69'
Me and some guys from school.
Had a band and we tried real hard.
Jimmy quit, Joey Got married,
Should've known We'd never get far.
CHORUS
Oh, when i look back now
The summer seemed to last forever.
And If I had the choice
yeah if there was one I'd be there
Am G (Hold out Single Stroke)
Those were the best days of my life.
Aint no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do.
Spend my evenings down at the drive in
And that's when I met you.
CHORUS
Standing on your daddy's Porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh, then you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never.
Am G (Hold Out Single Stroke)
Those were the best days of my life.
BRIDGE
we were killing time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' could last forever, forever NO!
And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone.
Sometimes when I play that old six string
I think about you and wonder what went wrong.
CHORUS
Standing on your daddy's Porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh, then you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never.
Those were the best days of my life.
Then just repeat C and G until the End.. I think whoever did the bass tab needs to
re-think it.. This is perfect.. I promise...
