Easy chords, but the timing of the chord changes with the lyrics takes some practice.
I've added some additional information in parethesis in the tab to assist with this.
Listen to the recording. There are probably some embelishments on the chords that could be added (hammer-ons)
Lyrics are challenging to make out in this song - may not be entirely correct here.

getting old
But for now we
