[B] [Bm]
[C#] [F#m]
Once upon a time there was a tavern [F#] where we used to raise a glass [Bm] or two.
Remember how we laughed [F#m] away the hours, [G#] think of all the great things [C#] we would do.
Those were [F#m] the days my friend, we [Bm] thought they'd never end.
We'd [E] sing and dance forever and a day.
We'd [Bm] live the life we'd choose, we'd [F#m] fight and never lose.
We [C#] were young and sure to have [F#m] our way.
And [Bm]
[C#] [F#m]
the busy years weren't rushing by us, [F#] they passed us starring [Bm] oceans on the way.
If by chance I'd see [F#m] you in the tavern, [G#] we'd smile at one another [C#] and we'd say.
Those were [F#m] the days my friend, we thought [Bm] they'd never end.
We'd sing [E] and dance forever and [A] a day.
[F#] [Bm] We'd live the life we'd [E] choose, we'd fight and [F#m] never [E] lose.
Those were the [C#] days, oh [D#m] yes those were the [F#m] days.
[C#] [F#m] [F#]
[Bm] Just [C#]
[F#m]
tonight I stood before the tavern,
[F#] nothing seemed [G#] the way it used [Bm] to be.
In the glass I saw a [F#m] strange reflection,
[G#] was that lonely woman [C#] really me?
Those were the days my friend, we thought [Bm] they'd never end.
We'd sing [E] and dance forever and [A] a day.
We'd live [Bm] the life we'd choose, we'd fight [F#m] and never lose.
Those were [C#] the days, oh yes those were [F#m] the days.
[E]
La-da-da [A] [Bm]-da-da-da-da-da-da.
[F#m] [C#]
[F#m]
[Gm]
Through the door there came familiar laughter, [G]
I [G] saw your face and [D] heard you call my [Cm] name.
Oh my friend [G] but no wiser, [Gm]
for [A] in our hearts the [A] dreams are still [D] the same.
Those were [Gm] the days, my friend, we [Cm] thought they'd never end.
We'd [F] sing and dance forever [A#] and a day.
We'd [Cm] live the life we choose, we'd [Gm] fight and never lose.
Those [D] were the days, oh yes, those [Gm] were the days.
[D] We'd live the life we choose, we'd fight [Gm]
and [C] [Cm] [F]
never [A#] lose.
[Cm] [Gm] [D]
[Gm] [A#]
