Kodaline - Way Back When
No Capo
Standard Tuning
 
A
[Intro]
 
 
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
                         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
                         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
 
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
                         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

For the bridge, you had D A E A E D, it sounds more like a D A E F#m E D .. Try it out! And for the line "some things are made to last", it should be E F#m E..

Just so you know, you can transpose +7 and put the capo on 5 and play it exactly the way they do.

Which strumming technique would recommend? Or a nice plucking technique if you have one!
