Bryan Adams (n. el 5 de Noviembre de 1959 en Kingston, Ontario, Canadá) es un cantante, cantautor, músico y fotógrafo canadiense. Entre sus estilos musicales figura el rock.
Su padre fue diplomatico, por lo que creció viajando por el mundo, especialmente en Europa. Su familia regresó a Canadá en 1973, y en la escuela secundaria estaba tan ocupado en la música que no le prestaba atención a las chicas (según entrevista de Carlo D'Agostino de Rolling Stone magazine).

[Verse 1] D I got my first real six-string A Bought it at the five-and-dime D Played it 'til my fingers bled A It was the summer of '69
[Verse 2] D Me and some guys from school A Had a band and we tried real hard D Jimmy quit, Joey got married A I shoulda known we'd never get far
[Chorus 1] BmA Oh, when I look back now DG That summer seemed to last forever BmA And if I had the choice DG Yeah, I'd always wanna be there BmAD Those were the best days of my life
[Instrumental] (D) A
[Verse 3] D Ain't no use in complainin' A When you got a job to do D Spent my evenin's down at the drive in A And that's when I met you
[Chorus 2] BmA Standin' on your mama's porch DG You told me that you'd wait forever BmA Oh, and when you held my hand DG I knew that it was now or never BmAD Those were the best days of my life (D) ADA Oh yeah Back in the summer of '69 Ohhh
[Bridge] FBb Man, we were killin' time C We were young and restless Bb We needed to unwind FBbC I guess nothin' can last forever, forever no
[Instrumental] DA x2
[Verse 4] D And now the times are changin' A Look at everything that's come and gone D Sometimes when I play that old six-string A I think about you, wonder what went wrong
[Chorus 3] BmA Standin' on your mama's porch DG You told me that it'd last forever BmA Oh, and when you held my hand DG I knew that it was now or never BmAD Those were the best days of my life
[Outro] (D) ADA Oh yeah Back in the summer of '69 Uh-huh
