Those Were the Days (Official 1977 Rerecording) Chords

[D] _ [F#m] _ _ _ [F#] _ [E] _ [Bm] _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Once upon a time there was a tavern where [F#] we used [G#] to [F#] raise a [Bm] glass 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, [F#m] we thought [Bm] they'd never end.
[E] We'd sing and dance forever [E] and [A] a day. _
[G#] We'd live [Bm] the life we'd choose, we'd fight [F#m] and never [E] lose.
[C#] Oh we were [D] young and [G#m] sure to [F#m] have our way.
Da da da da da da [F#] da da [Bm] da da da da da da da [C#] _ da da da da da [F#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ da da.
And the busy years weren't rushing by us,
[F#] With our star [G#] story [F#] no emotions [Bm] on the way.
_ If by chance I'd see you [F#m] in the tavern
We'd [G#] smile at one [B] another [C#] and we'd say
_ _ Those were the [F#m] days, my friend
[F#] We thought [Bm] they'd never end
[E] We'd sing and dance forever [A] and a day
We'd [Bm] live the life we'd choose
We'd [F#m] fight and never lose
Those [C#] were the days, oh yes
[F#m] Those were the days
Na [F] na [F#m] na na _ [F#] [Bm] na na na na na
[C#] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ Just _ _ _ _ _ tonight I stood before the tower
_ _ [F#] Nothing [A#] seemed the way it [Bm] used to be
In the glass I saw a [F#m] strange reflection
_ [G#] Was that lonely [C] woman [C#] really me? _ _ _ _
Those were [F#m] the days, my friend
We [Bm] thought they'd never end
We'd [G#] sing and dance forever [A] and a day
We'd [Bm] live the life we'd choose
We'd [F#m] fight and never lose
Those [C#] were the days, oh yes
Those [F#m] were the days

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ the _ _ _ door there came familiar laughter
[G] I saw your face [D] and heard [Fm] you call my [Cm] name
Oh my friend, we're [G] older but no wiser
[Gm] [A] For in our [D] hearts the [A] dreams [D] are still the _ same
_ Those were the [Gm] days, my friend
[Bm] We thought [Cm] they'd never end
We'd sing [F] and dance forever and [A#] a day
We'd live [Cm] the life we'd choose
We'd fight [Gm] and never lose
Those [D] were the days, oh yes
Those [Gm] were the [D] days
