[Intro]
 
G*
 
 
[Verse]
 
G*
We never had that much to do
                                     C*
So we'd just lay around in someone’s house
  D*                           D**
Someday I’ll have it all again
   D*7              G*
Just like way back when
 
 
G*
Back then we’d sleep until the afternoon
                             C*
Then we'd just get up and go outside
       D*                             D**
Open a window, let the breeze blow in,
D*7            G*
Forget everything
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    C                  G                   D/F#           C
Yea, those will be the days that I will be missing you
                         G                  D/F#            C
When I’m older, when I’m gray and when I’ll stop working
                  G
I hope that I can say
                     D      D7
When all my days are done
                             G*
We were just having fun
 
 
[Verse]
 
G*
Well we’d go drinking in the afternoon
                                C*
Lie out on the grass, and fall asleep
           D*                       D**
Oh will I ever see that girl again?
D*7                     G
The girl from way back when
 
 
G*
Yea, we used to share a cigarette
                                 C*
And t'row together everything we had
             D*                         D**
And then go driving in my parents’ car
D*7                   G*
We never strayed too far
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       C                  G                   D/F#           C
Oh yea, those will be the days that I will be missing you
                         G                  D/F            C
When I’m older, when I’m gray and when I’ll stop working
                  G
I hope that I can say
                     D      D7
When all my days are done
                   G*
That I had my fun
 
C G D G D
 
C                    G                D        D7
  Those will be the days that I had my fun
    C                 G
Yea, time can move so fast
     D           Dsus - Em7* - D
Some things are made to last
          C                G
Here's to you, my dear old friend
        D         D7
From way back when
 
 
[Outro]
 
    C                  G                   D/F#           C
Yea, those will be the days that I will be missing you
                         G                  D/F#            C
When I’m older, when I’m gray and when I’ll stop working
                  G
I hope that I can say
                     D    D7
When all my days are done
                     G*
That I had my fun

Some minor tweaks: I believe the progression break is C G D "Em" D (especially if you follow the bass line) Lyrics : those will be the days that I will be missing (there is no word "you") Otherwise nice transcription that matches the recording really well.

D/F is actually D/F# (sorry for that)
