Those were the days - Mary Hopkin
Intro:
F#m Bm C#7 F#m
F#m
Once upon a time, there was a tavern
F#7 F# Bm
Where we used to raise a glass or two
F#m
Remember how we laughed away the hours,
G#* C#7
Think of all the great things we would do
F#m
Those were the days, my friend
Bm
We thought they'd never end
E E7 A
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
Bm
We'd live the life we'd choose
F#m
We'd fight and never lose
C#7 F#m
For we were young and sure to have our way
C#7 F#m
La La La La La La La La

La La La La La La
C#7 F#m
La La La La La La La La La La
F#m
Then, the busy years went rushing by us
F#7 F# Bm
We lost our starry notions on the way
F#m
If, by chance, I'd see you in the tavern,
G# C#7
We'd smile at one another and we'd say
F#m
Those were the days, my friend
Bm
We thought they'd never end
E E7 A
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
Bm
We'd live the life we'd choose
F#m
We'd fight and never lose
C#7 F#m
For we were young and sure to have our way

C#7 F#m

F#m
Just tonight, I stood before the tavern
F#7 F# Bm
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
F#m
In the glass, I saw a strange reflection
G# C#7
Was that lonely woman really me?
F#m
Those were the days, my friend
Bm
We thought they'd never end
E E7 A
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
Bm
We'd live the life we'd choose
F#m
We'd fight and never lose
C#7 F#m
For we were young and sure to have our way

La La La La La La La La La La
F#m
Through the door, there came familiar laughter
F#7 F# Bm
I saw your face and heard you call my name
F#m
Oh, my friend, we're older but no wiser
G# C#7
For in our hearts, the dreams are still the same
F#m
Those were the days, my friend
Bm
We thought they'd never end
E E7 A
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
Bm
We'd live the life we'd choose
F#m
We'd fight and never lose
C#7 F#m
Those were the days or yes those were the days
