[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.
[E] We'd sing and dance forever [A] and a day.
We'd [Bm] live the life we'd choose, we'd [F#m] fight and never lose.
Those [C#] were the days, oh yes those [F#m] were the days.
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.
We'd live [Bm] the life we'd choose, [F#m] we'd fight and never lose.
[C#] Those were the days, oh yes [F#m] those were the days.
Day day day day [Bm] day, day [E] day [A]
day day day, day [Bm] day day day [F#m]
[C#] [F#m]
[Gm]
day.
Through the door there came familiar laughter.
[G] I saw your face and [D] heard you call my [Cm] name.
Oh my friend we're [G] old but no wiser, [A] for in our hearts the dreams are still [D] the same.
Those were the [Gm] days my friend, we thought [Cm] they'd never end.
We'd sing [F] and dance forever and [A#] a day.
We'd live [Cm] the life we'd choose, we'd fight [Gm] and never
[D] lose.
Oh yes those were the [D] days.
Day [Gm] day day day day, [Cm] day [F]
[A#] day day day day.
