D I got my first real six-string A Bought it at a five-and-dime D Played it til my fingers bled A It was the summer of 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'd never get far Chorus G A Oh when I look back now D G that summer seemed to last forever G A Oh and if I had a choice D G Yeah I'd always wanna be there G A D Those were the best days of my life Ain't no use in complainin' when you got a job to do Spent my evenings down at the drive-in and that's where I met you Chorus 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 A D D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D Those were the best days of my life ___ ___ ___ A Asus2 A Asus4 A Asus2 A D back in the summer of '69 Bridge F Bb Man we were killing time C Bb F we were young and restless we needed to unwind Bb C D I guess nothin' can last forever- forever;no D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D A Asus2 A Asus4 A Asus2 A ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ And now the times are changing look at everything thats come and gone Sometimes when I play that old six-string I think about you wonder what went wrong Chorus Standin' on your mama's porch you told me it would last forever oh the way 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 69 Printed at: By the Chord

hey u can use this for this song in indian version Sambhar of 69 I had my first real six rupees, stole it from my father's pants. went to a madrasi hotel, to eat the sambhar of 69. Me and some kadke dost, had it all and we caught bukhaar, Bhangi puked, Lal got ulcers, and Teena ne maari dakar. Oh when I went back there now, the food was as stale as ever, and though it was 1999, still the sambhar was being served over there, that was the worst food of my life. Therez no use in complaining, when you got no other place to eat, rushed in the evening to the doctors clinic, but he too was at the toilet seat, yeah standing there waiting outside, nurse told me I will wait forever, oh and when I held my breath, I knew that I had to use that loo there That was the worst food of my life. Back to the sambhar of 69. Man I was getting killed, I was full and restless, I needed to unwind, I guess nothing can wait forever - FOREVER... NO!!!! And now the dhabas are changing, new dishes have come and gone, sometimes when I pass that old madrasi lane, I still smell it, I can't be wrong. Standing in those unwashed clothes, the waiters still call me in there, oh the way my nostrils burn, I know that it will be served forever, what was the worst food of my life. yeah it was the sambhar of 69, the sambhar, the sambhar, the sambhar of 69 ……………
