_ [N] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
Once [C#] upon a time [F#m] there was a tavern _ _ [F#]
where we [G#] used to raise [Bm] a glass or two. _ _
Remember how we laughed [F#m] away the hours, _ [G#]
dreamed of all the great [C#] things 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 [A] day.
We'd [Bm] live the life we'd choose, we'd [F#m] fight and never lose.
But we [C#] were young and sure to have [F#m] our way.
[C#] Lai, lai, [F#m] _ lai, lai, lai, [Bm] lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai.
Those [C#] were the days, oh yes those [F#m] were the days.
_ Then the busy years went rushing by us.
[F#] We lost our [G#m] starry notions [Bm] on the way. _
If by chance I'd see [F#m] you in the tavern.
[G#] We'd smile at one another and [C#] 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 [A] and a day.
We'd live [Bm] the life we'd choose, we'd fight [F#m] and never lose.
Those [C#] were the days, oh yes those were the days.
Lai, _ [F#m] lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, [Bm]
lai, lai, lai, lai, [C#] lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, [F#m] lai, lai, lai, lai, lai.
_ _ _ _ _ Just a night I stood before the tavern.
_ _ [F#]
Nothing seemed the way [Bm] it used to be.
But in my glass I saw [F#m] a strange reflection.
_ [G#]
Was that lonely woman [C#] really me?
_ _ [F#m]
Through the door there came familiar laughter.
_ [F#] I saw your face, I heard [Bm] you call my name. _
Oh my friend we're [F#m] older but no wiser.
[G#] For in our hearts the dreams [C#] are still the same. _ _
_ [C#] _ 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 live [Bm] the life we'd choose, we'd fight [F#m] and never lose.
[C#] Those were the days, oh yes [F#m] those were the days.
_ [D] Those were the _
_ [F#m] days.

_ _ _ [D] _ Those were [Gm] the days my friend, we thought [Cm] they'd never end.
We'd sing [F] and dance forever [A#] and a day.
_ [Cm] We'd live the life we'd choose, we'd [Gm] fight and never lose.
Those were the [D]
days, oh yes those were the [Gm] days.
Oh yes those [A#] were the days.
Oh yes those [C] were the days.

days. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
