Bm A D G
and if i had the choice - ya i'd always wanna be there
Bm A D* A*
those were the best days of my life

D* A*
ain't no use complaining - when ya gotta job to do
D* A*
spent my evenings down at the drive in - and that's when i met you - ya
Bm A D G
standing on your mamma's porch - you told me that you'd wait forever
Bm A D G
and when i held your hand - i knew that it was now or never
Bm A D* A* D* A*
those were the best days of my life - back in the summer of '69

F Bb
man we were killin' time
C Bb
we were young and reckless - we needed to unwind
F Bb C
i guess nothing can last forever...

D* A* D* A*

D*
and now the times are changin'
A*
look at everything that's come and gone
D*
sometimes when i play my old six string
A*
i think about you wonder what went wrong

Bm A D G
standing on your manna's porch - you told me it'd last forever

nice work guyz.

Personally, I like playing the intro picking the strings, but use the transition of D* and A* played as chords during the course of the song. Try that out too ...

Check this from around the 3:20 mark...he explains the intro. Arpeggiated means picking each string individually rather than strumming which is usually done for chords.
