Summer of 69 (Classic Version)

[00:04.78] I got my first real six-string

[00:07.70] Bought it at the five and dime

[00:11.42] Played it 'til my fingers bled

[00:14.60] Was the summer of '69

[00:18.06] Me and some guys from school

[00:21.52] Had a band and we tried real hard

[00:24.96] Jimmy quit and Jody got married

[00:28.42] I should've known we'd never get far

[00:32.40] Oh, when I look back now

[00:36.12] That summer seemed to last forever

[00:38.52] And if I had the choice

[00:42.49] Yeah, I'd always wanna be there

[00:45.95] Those were the best days of my life

[00:49.14] ♫

[00:56.57] Ain't no use in complainin'

[00:59.50] When you got a job to do

[01:02.69] I spent my evenings down at the drive-in

[01:06.94] And that's when I met you, yeah!

[01:09.59] Standin' on your mama's porch

[01:13.04] You told me that you'd wait forever

[01:16.76] Oh, and when you held my hand

[01:19.95] I knew that it was now or never

[01:23.67] Those were the best days of my life

[01:26.85] ♫

[01:29.51] Oh, yeah

[01:30.31] ♫

[01:31.64] Back in the summer of '69, oh

[01:38.55] ♫

[01:40.67] Man, we were killin' time

[01:43.06] We were young and restless

[01:45.71] We needed to unwind

[01:47.84] I guess nothing can last forever

[01:51.56] Forever, no

[01:53.95] ♫

[01:56.87] Yeah

[01:58.20] ♫

[02:08.29] And now the times are changin'

[02:11.48] Look at everything that's come and gone

[02:14.93] Sometimes when I play that old six-string

[02:18.12] I think about you, wonder what went wrong

[02:21.84] Standin' on your mama's porch

[02:25.03] You told me that it'd last forever

[02:28.76] Oh, and when you held my hand

[02:32.48] I knew that it was now or never

[02:35.93] Those were the best days of my life

[02:39.12] ♫

[02:42.04] Oh, yeah

[02:43.10] ♫

[02:43.90] Back in the summer of '69, uh-huh

[02:50.81] It was the summer of '69, oh, yeah

[02:57.71] Me and my baby in '69, oh, oh

[03:09.15] It was the summer, summer, summer of '69

[03:16.32] (Yeah)
