Intro: A A We never had that much to do D So we'd just lay around in someone’s house E Someday I’ll have it all again A Just like way back when A Back then we’d sleep until the afternoon D Then we'd just get up and go outside E Open a window, let the breeze blow in, A Forget everything D A E D Yea, those will be the days that I will be missing you A E D When I’m older, when I’m gray and when I’ll stop working A I hope that I can say E When all my days are done A We were just having fun A Well we’d go drinking in the afternoon D Lie out on the grass, and fall asleep E Oh will I ever see that girl again? A The girl from way back when A Yea, we used to share a cigarette D And t'row together everything we had E And then go driving in my parents’ car A We never strayed too far D A E D Oh yea, those will be the days that I will be missing you A E D When I’m older, when I’m gray and when I’ll stop working A I hope that I can say E When all my days are done A That I had my fun Interlude: D A E A E D D A E E7 Those will be the days that I had my fun D A Yea, time can move so fast E E7 E Some things are made to last D A Here's to you, my dear old friend E From way back when D A E D Yea, those will be the days that I will be missing you A E D When I’m older, when I’m gray and when I’ll stop working A I hope that I can say E When all my days are done A That I had my fun This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

just slide up 2 frets from the D chord to get an easier E, it also sounds nice if you catch the sliding sound. I usually like to play my D 2225 and E 4447
Great song and easier when in -2 but you don’t really need d7 if it’s too difficult
Great Song! Easier to play when you transpose -2 !
