Bryan Adams
Summer Of '69
Reckless (1984)

x D5   <  (P.M. & punch)

D5
I got my first real six-string
A5
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it 'till my fingers bled
Was the summer of 69

D                                                (embarque)
Me and some guys from school
Asus2
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I should've known we'd never get far

  Bm        A
  Oh when I look back now
  D                     G        a
  That summer seemed to last forever
  And if I had the choice
  Yeah I'd always wanna be there
  Bm             A (reste)
  Those were the best days of my life

D(2,4)  A(2,4)  hoo

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 yeah

  Standin' on your 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

D(2,4)  A(2,4)  x 2  Oh yeah, back in the summer of 69, hooo

    F           B♭
    Man we were killin' time
            C                     B♭/D
    We were young and restless we needed to unwind
    F       B♭                  C        C               
    I guess nothin' can last forever, forever no

D(2,4)  A(2,4)  x 2  Yeah  (creux) 

And now the times are changin'                   w/ (2,4)
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about you, wonder what went wrong

  Standin' on your Mama's porch
  You told me that it'd last forever
  Oh when you held my hand
  I knew that it was now or never
  Those were the best days of my life

D(2,4)  A(2,4)  x 8  Oh yeah, back in the summer of 69, hoo ...  solo    (fade out)
