Once upon a time there was a tavern,
E7 Am
where we used to raise a glass or two.
Em
Remember how we laughed away the hours,
F#7
B7
and dreamed of all the great things we would do.
Em
Those were the days, my friend,
Am
we thought they'd never end,
D D7 G
we'd sing and dance for ever and a day;
Am
We'd live the life we choose,
Em
we,d fight and never loose,
B7
Em
For we were young, and sure to have our way.
B7 Em Am
La la la - la la la - la la la - la la la
B7 Em
La la la la - la la la la la la
Em
Then the busy years went rushing by us.
E7 Am
We lost our starty notions on the way.
Em
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern,
F#7
B7
we'd smiled at one another, and we'd say:
Em
Those were the days, my friend,............
Em
Just tonight I stood before the tavern.
E7
Am
Nothing seemed the way it used to be.
Em
In the glass I saw a strange reflection,
F#7 B7
was that lonley woman really me?
Em
Those were the days, my friend,............
Em
Through the door there came familiar laughter.
E7
Am
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Em
Oh, my friend, we're older, but no wiser.
F#7
B7
For in our hearts the dream are still the same.
Em
Those were the days, my friend,............
