Lyrics
[Lead Guitar Melody Intro, 4 bars]
[Palm Muted Acoustic, Verse]
Those summer days, were so much fun,
The memories we made, yeah the songs we sung,
Those long warm nights, with a drink in our hands,
Seemed like they would never end, we didn't need no plans
[Pre-Chorus]
We stood around the fire, laughin' 'bout old times,
The days we shared were one of a kind
[Chorus]
Ohhh, those were the best days of our lives,
Yeah, remember the joy and the tears we cried,
Ohhh, now the days and years just fly,
Lookin' back they really were the best days of our lives
[Guitar interlude]
[Ringing Guitar Chords, Verse 2]
We'd drive down those backroads, windows rolled down,
Music blasting loud, as we cruised around town.
Stars in the sky, just you and I,
Lost in the moment, no need to question why.
[Pre-Chorus]
The laughter and the love, shining in our eyes,
Captured in those moments, beneath the summer skies.
[Chorus]
Ohhh, those were the best days of our lives,
Yeah, remember the joy and the tears we cried,
Ohhh, now the days and years just fly,
Lookin' back they really were the best days of our lives
[Bridge]
Time moves on, but those memories stay,
In our hearts, they will never fade away.
Every now and then, when I close my eyes,
I'm taken back there, beneath those summer skies.
[Beautiful Lead Guitar Solo, Delay]
[Breakdown]
[Chorus]
Ohhh, those were the best days of our lives,
Yeah, remember the joy and the tears we cried,
Ohhh, now the days and years just fly,
Lookin' back they really were the best days of our lives
[Outro]
Ohhh, those were the best days of our lives,
Yeah, they were the best days of our lives,
Oh-oh-oh, the best days of our lives,
[Band tacet, strumming acoustic guitar]
[Ritardando]
Yeah they were the best days of our lives
[Strummed chord ringing out]
[End]
[Chorus]
Ohhh, those were the best days of our lives,
Yeah, remember the joy and the tears we cried,
Ohhh, now the days and years just fly,
Lookin' back they really were the best days of our lives
[Outro]
[Band tacet, strumming acoustic guitar]
[Ritardando]
Yeah they were the best days of our lives
[Strummed chord ringing out]
[End]
[Fade Out]
[End]
