[A] [Bm]
[F#m] [C#]
[F#m]
Once upon a time there was a tavern
[F#]
Where we used to raise a [Bm] glass or two
Remember how we lighted [F#m] the hour
[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 sing [E] and dance forever [A] on the day
We'd [Bm] live the life we chose
We'd [F#m] fight and never fall
We [C#] were young and sure to [F] have a way
La la [C#] [F#m] la la la la [Bm] la la la la la la la [C#] la la la la la la la [F#m] la la la la la la la,
Then by busy air and rushing by air,
[F#] We lost cause storing notions [Bm] on the way.
If by chance I see you [F#m] in the tavern,
[G#] We'd smile at one another,
[C#] And we'd say, those were [F#m] the days my friend,
With [Bm] hopes that never end.
We'd sing [E] and dance, forever [A] and a day.
We'd [Bm] live the life we choose, we'd [F#m] fight and never,
Those [C#] were the days, those were the days.
La, la, [F#m] la, la, la, la, la, la, [Bm] la, la, la, la, la, la, la, [C#] la, la, la, la, la, la, [F#m] la, la, la, la, la.
Just tonight I stood [D] before the [F#m] tavern,
[F#] Nothing seemed the way it [Bm] used to be.
In the glass I saw a [F#m] strange reflection,
[G#] Was that lonely woman [C#] reading me?
Those were [F#m] the days my friend,
With [Bm] hopes that never end.
We'd sing [E] and dance, forever [A] and a day.
We'd live [Bm] the life we choose, we'd fight [F#m] and never,
Those [C#] were the days, those [F#m] were the [C#] days.
La, la, la, [F#m] la, la, la, la, la, [Bm] la, la, la, la, la, la, la, [E] la, la, la, la, la, la, [A] la, la, [Bm]

I [G] saw your face and heard you [Cm] call my name.
Oh my friend we're all [Gm]
[A] four in the house, the dreams are [D] still the same.
Those [Gm] ways my friend, with us [Cm] they never end.
We sing [F] and dance forever and [A#] a day.
We live [Cm] the life we choose, we fight [Gm] and never lose.
Those were [D] the days, oh yes those [Gm] were the [D] days.
