[F#m] [B] [Bm]
[C#] [F#m]
Once upon a time there was a tavern, [F#] where we used to raise a [Bm] glass or two.
Remember how we laughed [F#m] away the hours, [G#] think of all the great [C#] things we would do.
Those were the [F#] days my friend, [C#] we [Bm] thought they'd never end.
[E] We'd sing and dance forever and a [A] day.
We'd live [Bm] the life we'd choose, we'd fight [F#m] and never lose.
[C#] Oh we were young and sure to [F#m] have our way.
Day day day day day, day [Bm] day day day day, day [C#] day day day day.
[F#m]
Then the busy years went rushing by us, [F#] and we lost our starry notions [Bm] on the way.
If by chance I'd see you [F#m] in the tavern, [G#] we'd smile with one another [C#] and we'd say.
Those were [F#m] the days my friend, [Bm] we thought they'd never end.

Day day day day day, day day [Bm] day day day, day day [C#] day day [F#m]
day.
Just tonight I stood before the tavern, [F#] nothing [G#] seemed the way [Bm] it used to be.
In the glass I saw a strange [F#m] reflection, [G#] was that lonely woman [C#] really me?
Those were [F#m] the days my friend, [D] we thought [B] they'd never end.
We'd sing [E] and dance forever and [A] a day.
