D   G   Cdim  Am         Am+7      Am7       D9   Cdim   Am  Am+7  Am7
On days like these, when skies are blue and fields are green,

 Am7alt D7   G6   G5   Am7  G5   G6       Bm7-5 Cdim  G6
I look  a - round and think a - bout what might have been;

D    G  Cdim Am        Am+7   Am7       D9  Cdim  Am  Am+7  Am7
And then I  hear sweet music float a - round my  head

  Am7alt D7   G6   G5  Am7  G5   G6     Bm7-5 Cdim  G6
As   I   re - call the man - y things we left  un - said.

G        Am7 Cdim  Am7      B7    Em    B+  Em7
It's on days like these that I remember

        Em6        C        A7
Singing songs and drinking wine

Cdim        F           Am7        D7
While your eyes played games with mine.


D   G   Cdim  Am      Am+7   Am7     D9  Cdim Am  Am+7  Am7
On days like these, I wonder what became  of  you?

    Am7alt D7   G6   G5     Am7   G5   G6       Bm7-5  Cdim  G6
May - be   to - day you're sing - ing songs with some - one new.

D   G   Cdim  Am         Am+7    Am7      D9   Cdim   Am  Am+7  Am7
I'd like to think you're walking by those wil - low trees

    Am7alt D7    G6   G5  Am7 G5  G6    Bm7-5 Cdim  G6
Re - mem - ber - ing the love we knew on days like these.

G        Am7 Cdim  Am7      B7    Em    B+  Em7
It's on days like these that I remember

        Em6        C        A7
Singing songs and drinking wine

Cdim        F           Am7        D7
While your eyes played games with mine.



D   G   Cdim  Am      Am+7   Am7     D9  Cdim Am  Am+7  Am7
On days like these, I wonder what became  of  you?

    Am7alt D7   G6   G5     Am7   G5   G6       Bm7-5  Cdim  G6
May - be   to - day you're sing - ing songs with some - one new.
