Just like way back [A] when.

Forget every[A]thing.

Yeah,[D] those will be the [A] days that I’ll be [E] missing.[D]

I hope that I can [A] say,
When all my days are [E] done:
We were just having fun. [A]

[A] Well we’d go drinking in the afternoon,
Lie out on the grass, and fall [D] asleep.
Oh will I [E] ever see that girl again?
The girl from way back [A] when…
Verse 4:
[A] Yeah, we used to share a cigarette,
And throw together everything we [D] had…
And then go [E] driving in my parents’ car,
We never strayed too [A] far.
Chorus:
Yeah,[D] those will be the [A] days that I’ll be [E] missing.[D]

When all my days are [E] done:
That I had my fun. [A]

Here’s to [D] you, my dear old [A] friend,
From way [E] back when…

When all my days are [E] done:
That I had my fun. [A]
