[Em]
Once upon a time there was a tavern
[E] Where we used to raise a glass or [Am] two
Remember how we laughed away [Em] the hours
[Em] [F#] Think of all the great things we would [B] do
[B] [Em] Those were the days, my friend
We thought [Am] they'd never end
We'd sing [D] and dance forever and a [G] day
We'd live [A] the [Am] life we'd choose
We'd fight [Bm] and never lose
For we were [B] young and sure to [Em] have our way
[B] Da-da-da [Em]-da-da-da-da-da-da-da [Am]-da-da-da-da-da [B]-da-da-da-da-da [Em]-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da -da-da
The busy years went rushing by us
[E] We lost our starring notions on [Am] the way
If by chance I'd see you in [Em] the tower
[F#] We'd smile at one another and [B] we'd say
Those were [Em] the days, my friend
We [Am] thought they'd never end
We'd [D] sing and dance forever and [G] a day
We'd live [Am] the life we'd choose
We'd fight [Em] and never lose
Those were [B] the days, oh yes those [Em] were the days
Day, day, day, day, day, day
Day, day, [Am] day, day, day, day
Day, day, day, [B] day, day, day, [Em] day
Just tonight I stood before the tower
[E] Nothing seemed the way it [Am] used to be
In the glass I saw a [Em] strange reflection
[F#] Was that lonely woman [B] really me?
Those were [Em] the days, my friend
We [Am] thought they'd never end
We'd [D] sing and dance forever [G] and a day
We'd [Am] live the life we'd choose
We'd [Em] fight and never lose
Those [B] were the days, oh yes those [Em] were the days
Day, day, day, day, day, day
Day, [Am] day, day, day, day, day
Day, [D] day, day, day, day, [G] day
Day, day, [Am] day, day, day, day
Day, day, [Em] day, day, day, day
Day, day, [B] day, day, day, [E] day, [Em] day
Through the [Em] door there came familiar laughter
I [E] saw your face and heard you [Am] call my name
Oh my friend we're old and [Em] but no wiser
[F#] For in our hearts the dreams [B] are still the same
Those were [Em] the days, my friend
We [Am] thought they'd never end
We'd [D] sing and dance forever [G] and a day
We'd [Am] live the life we'd choose
We'd [Em] fight and never lose
Those [B] were the days, oh yes those [Em] were the days
[B] Day, day, [Em] day, day, day, day
Day, [Am] day, day, day, day, day
Day, [D] day, day, day, day, [G] day
Day, [Am] day, day, day, day, day
Day, [Em] day, day, day, day, day
Those were [B] the days, oh yes those were [E] the days
