[D] [Gm]
Once upon a time there was a tavern where [G]
we used to raise a [Cm] glass or two.
Remember how we laughed away [Gm] the hours and [A] dreamed of all the great things we [D] would do.
[G] Those were [G] the days, my friend, [Cm] we thought they'd never end.
We'd sing and dance forever [Bb]
and a day.
We'd live the life we'd choose.
We'd fight and [Gm] never lose.
For [D] we were young and sure to have [Gm] our way.
La la la la la la la [Cm] la la la la la la la
Those [D] were the days, oh yes, those were [Gm] the days.
Then the busy years went rushing by us.
[G] We lost our starry notions [Cm] on the way.
If by chance I'd see you in [Gm] the tavern,
[A] we'd smile at one another and [D] we'd say,
[Gm] Those were the days, my friend, we thought [Cm] they'd never end.
We'd sing [F] and dance forever [Bb] and a day.
We'd [Cm] live the life we'd choose.
We'd [Gm] fight and never lose.

La la la la la la [Cm] la la la la [D] la la
Those [Gm] were the days, yes, tonight I stood before the tavern.
[G] Nothing seemed the way it used to [Cm] be.
In the glass I saw [Gm] a strange reflection.
[A]
Was that lonely fellow really [D] me?
[Gm] Those were the days, my friend, we thought [Cm] they'd never end.
[F] We'd sing and dance forever [Bb] and a day.

La la la la la la la [Cm] la la la la
Those [D] were the days, oh yes, those were [Gm] the days.
Through the door there came familiar laughter.
[G] I saw your face and heard you call [Cm] my name.
Oh my friend, we're older but [Gm] no wiser.
For in our [A] hearts the dreams are still [D] the same.
