Karaoke Track: Summer Of 69 (Acoustic) by Bryan Adams (Gnome Karaoke)

I got my first real six string
Bought it at the five and dime
Played it till my fingers bled
It was the summer of &#39;69

Me and some guys from school

Had a band and we tried real
hard

Jimmy quit and Jody got married

I shoulda known we&#39;d never get
far

But when I look back now

The summer seemed to last
forever

And ifl had the choice
Yeah I&#39;d always wanna be there

Those were the best days of
my life

Ain&#39;t no use in complaining
When you got a job to do
Spend my evenings down at the
drive in
And that&#39;s when I met you yeah

Standin&#39; on your mama&#39;s porch

You told me that you&#39;d wait
forever

And when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never

Those were the best days of
my life

Back in the summer of &#39;69

Man we were killing time
We were young and reckless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin&#39; can last forever,
forever, no

And now the times are changing

Look at everything that&#39;s come
and gone

Sometimes when I play that old
six string

I think about you wonder what
went wrong

Standing on your mama&#39;s porch
You told me it would last forever

And when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never

Those were the best days of

my life

Back in the summer of &#39;69
Hey it was the summer of &#39;69

Oh yeah just me and my baby
in &#39;69

The summer, the summer of &#39;69

It was the summer of love
