Bryan Adams Summer of ’69 Guitar Tab
“Summer of ’69” is one of those songs everybody knows the words to even if they’ve only heard it once or twice, probably because of all the cliches in the lyrics. But it’s those cliches that helped make Bryan Adams famous. Adams and Jim Vallance have given different accounts of the subject matter of “Summer of ’69”, but whether it’s about the sex position or the actual year, it’s the nostalgia that counts. Instantly relatable to anyone with a past, Bryan Adams set the standard for nostalgic naivety with this feel-good number. One of the few songs that is on both best-of lists (Blender’s Top 500 Songs of the 80s-00s, Charattack’s 50 Best Canadian Singles of All Time, and more) and worst-of lists (Time magazine’s Top 10 Worst Songs of Summer and others), “Summer of ’69” is timeless nonetheless. Play this, and everyone will sing along when you get to “those were the best days of my life!”
