      So this is how mac plays it acoustically and it matches up with the record real nice. 
For the G chord use this pattern while strumming: 

e|---3----3---3---3--------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---0----0---0---0--------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---0----0---0---0--------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---0----0---0---0--------------------------------------------------------------| x3
A|---3----2---0---2--------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---0----0---0---3--------------------------------------------------------------|

And for the D7 chord use the C7 shape slid up two frets.

G              
As I’m getting older, chip up on my shoulder
                      D7               G 
Rolling through life, to roll over and die

[Scat Singing] 
(G-D7)

G
Missing Hippie Jon, salad days are gone
                      D7               G 
Remembering things just to tell ‘em so long

[Scat Singing] 
(G-D7)

G  Em    Am                    D7
Oh mama, actin’ like my life’s already over
G  Em    Am                    D7
Oh dear, act your age and try another year
G
Always feeling tired, smiling when required
                       D7            G 
Write another year off and kindly resign

[Scat Singing] 
(G-D7)

G
Salad days are gone, missing Hippie Jon
                          D7           G 
Remember the days just to tell ‘em so long

[Scat Singing] 
(G-D7)

G  Em    Am                    D7
Oh mama, actin’ like my life’s already over
G  Em    Am                    D7
Oh dear, act your age and try another year
G  Em    Am                    D7
Oh mama, actin’ like my life’s already over
G  Em    Am                    D7
Oh dear, act your age and try another year
