[Am] Once upon a time there was a [C] tavern, [Gb]
[A] where we used to raise a [F] glass or two.
[Dm] Remember how we laughed away [C] the hour, [Gb] and [B] dreamed of all the great things we [E] would do.
[Am] Then the busy years went rushing by us, [A] we lost our starry notions on [Dm] the way.
If by chance I'd see you in the [C] [Am] tavern, [B] we'd smile at one another and [E] we'd sing.
Those were [Am] the days my friend, [A] we [Dm] thought they'd never end.
We'd sing [G] and dance forever and [C] a day.
We'd live [Dm] the life we'd choose, we'd fight [Am] we'd never lose.
For we [E] were young and sure to [Am] have our way.
Those [Dm]
[E] were the days, oh yes [Am] those were the days.
Just tonight I stood before the tavern, [A] nothing seemed the way it [Dm] used to be.
In the glass I saw a [A] strange [Am] reflection, [B] was that lonely fellow [E] really me?
Those [Am] were the days my [A] friend, we [Dm] thought they'd never end.
We'd sing [G] and dance forever and [C] a day.
