DI got my first real six-string
ABought it at the five-and-dime
DPlayed it 'til my fingers bled
AIt was the summer of '69
DMe and some guys from school
AHad a band and we tried real hard
DJimmy quit, Jody got married
AI shoulda known we'd never get far
BmOh, when I Alook back now
DThat summer seemed to Glast forever
BmAnd if I Ahad the choice
DYeah, I'd always Gwanna be there
BmThose were the Abest days of my Dlife
D A
DAin't no use in complainin'
AWhen you got a job to do
DSpent my evenin's down at the drive in
AAnd that's when I met you, yeah
BmStandin' on your Amama's porch
DYou told me that you'd Gwait forever
BmOh, and when you Aheld my hand
DI knew that it was Gnow or never

DAnd now the times are changin'
ALook at everything that's come and gone
DSometimes when I play that old six-string
AI think about you, wonder what went wrong
