Summer of 69 Chord Chart by Bryan Adams
Welcome to my Summer of 69 chord chart by Bryan Adams. This really is a great tune. The chords are A, D, G, Bm and F which makes this songs a little more intermediate level only because of the barre chords.
There’s also a killer key change with a Bb in the Bridge.
If you play this on an electric guitar, you can eliminate the barre chord by playing all power chords which sounds really great through an amp with a little distortion.
SUMMER OF 69 CHORDS:
When I play this song on guitar, I like to use a little bit of a syncopated, all down strum rhythm which I think sounds pretty cool. I will show you below.

You can always do the all down strum without the accents, if you like.
