                                              Bought it at the five-and-dime

                         Played it till my fingers bled

    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

    Oh when I look back now                                                             That summer seemed to last forever

                                                                   And if I had the choice

                                              Ya - I'd always wanna be there

                         Those were the best days of my life

                                                                   Ain't no use in complainin'

               When you got a job to do                             Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in

                                    And that's when I met you

    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

                         Those were the best days of my life

    Back in the summer of '69

                                                              Man we were killin' time

                         We were young and restless                                     We needed to unwind

                                              I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no

                                                                                        And now the times are changin'

                                                    Look at everything that's come and gone

                               Sometimes when I play that old six-string

          I think about ya wonder what went wrong

    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

    It was the summer of '69

                                                              It was the summer of '69

More Than Tabs

Hear every part, read it in the notation you prefer, and practise it at your own tempo

Audio Playback

Play the whole score back, or step through it note by note. Every track is synthesised from its own instrument, so a drum line sounds like drums and a piano part sounds like a piano.

Dual Notation

Switch any track between tablature, standard notation and note names — or show them stacked, aligned bar for bar. The same score, in whichever language you read fastest.

Practice Tools

Slow the tempo until a passage sits under your fingers, set the play range to loop the bar you keep missing, and mute the tracks you want to play yourself.
