[Em] Once upon a time there was a tavern where [E] we used to raise a glass or [Am] two.
Remember how we lived to [Em] wear the hours [F#] and dreamed of all the great things we [B] would do.
[Em] Then the busy years went rushing by us.
[E] We lost our starry notions [Am] along the way.
And if by chance I'd see you [Em] in that tavern, [F#] we'd smile at one another and [Em] we'd say,
[B] Those were [Em] the days, my friend, we thought [Am] they'd never end.
We'd sing [D] and dance forever [G] and a day.
We'd live [Am] the life we dreamed.
We'd fight [Em] and never lose.
For we [B] were young and sure to have [Em] our way.
La-la-la-la-la-la, [E] la-la [Am]-la-la-la-la.
[B] Those were the days.
Ay, [Em] yes, those [Am] were the days.

Just today I stood before the tavern.
You poor thing.
[A] Nothing seemed the way [Dm] it used to be.
You bet your sweet puppy it isn't, baby.
In the glass I saw a [Am] strange reflection.
[B] Was that lonely Jasper reading [E] me?
[Am] Through the door there came familiar laughter.
[A] I saw your face and heard you call [Dm] my name.
All my friends were older, [Am] but no wiser.
[B] For in our hearts the dreams are still [Em] the same.
Those [B] were the [Em] days, my friend.
We thought [Am] they'd never end.
We'd sing [D] and dance forever [G] and a day.
[Am] We'd live the life we choose.
[Em] We'd fight and never lose.
[B] Oh, we were young and sure to [Em] have our way.
Shall we dance, darling?
[E] I'd love to.
Oh, [A] you're [Am] magnificent tonight.
Those [B] were the days.
Hot dog, those [Em] were the days.
[Am] Those [B] were the days.
Oh, yes, those were the days.
