Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams
The verses are just ... as many as needed with the change
occurring on every second bar. There is an additional two bars of
at the start as well.
The way to play it is something like this:
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
|-----------------|-----------------||-----------------|-----------------|
|-3-----3---------|-----------------||-3-----3---------|-------------3---|
|-2---2-2---2-2-2-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-----||-2---2-2---2-2-2-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---|
|-0---0-0---0-0-0-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---||-0---0-0---0-0-0-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---|
|-----------------|-------------0---||-----------------|-----------------|
|-----------------|-----------------||-----------------|-----------------|
. . . . . . . .
|-----------------|-----------------||
|-----------------|-----------------|| repeat last 4 bars throughout
|-2-----2---------|-------------2---|| verses.
|-2---2-2---2-2-2-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---||
|-0---0-0---0-0-0-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---||
|-----------------|-----------------||
The dots show the beat.
Use moderate amounts of overdrive, and mute the 2's with your palm to get
the distinctive percussive sound. 0
The Chorus chords are |Bm|ADG|Bm|ADG|BmA (I use instead of )
use standard open A,D, and and a barred shape for .
The keyboard riff is sort of an arpegiated and ie.
|-0-----2-----3---|---2-----0---2---|-----------------|------------------|
|---3-----3-----3-|-----3-----------|-0-----2-----3---|---2-----0----2---|
|-----2-----2-----|-2-----2---2---2-|---2-----2-----3-|-----2------------|
|-----------------|-----------------|-----2-----2-----|-2-----2----2---2-|
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|------------------|
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|------------------|
This sounds a bit messy with overdrive, so play it clean, or (even easier)
just play the melody part (which is mainly what you hear on the CD anyway)
e|-0-----2-----3---|---2-----0---2---|-----------------|------------------|
b|-----------------|-----------------|-0-----2-----3---|---2-----0---2----|
For the key change after the second chorus, the chords are:
|FBbCBbFBbCC again use the barred shape for and .
That's about all for Summer of '69#

[D*] [A*]
i got my first real six string - brought it at the five & dime

me and some guys from school had a band and we tried real hard
[D*] [A*]

and if i had the choice - ya i'd always wanna be there
[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
standing on your mamma's porch - you told me that you'd wait forever
and when i held your hand - i knew that it was now or never
[D*] [A*] [D*] [A*]
those were the best days of my life - back in the summer of '69
man we were killin' time
we were young and reckless - we needed to unwind
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

i think about you wonder what went wrong
standing on your manna's porch - you told me it'd last forever
and when i held your hand - i knew that it was now or never
