Lyrics
I got my (C)first real six string, bought it at the five and dime.
Played it ’til my fin gers bled,
was the sum mer of six ty nine.
Me and some guys from school
had a band and we tried real hard.
Jim my quit, Jo dy got mar ried.
Should a known we’d nev er get far.
Oh, when I (G)look back now,
that sum mer seemed to (F)last for ev er, and if I (G)had the choice,
yeah, I’d al ways (F)wan na be there.
Those were the (G)best days of my life.
Oh, yeah,
back in the sum mer of (C)six ty nine.
