[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.

[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.
