Em Em7
Once upon a time there was a tavern,
E Am
where we used to raise a glass or two.
Am Em7
Remember how we laughed away the hours,
F#7 B7
and dreamed of all the great things we would do.
Em
Those were the days, my friend,
Am
we thought they'd never end,
D D7 G
we'd sing and dance forever and a day;
Am
We'd live the life we choose,
Em
we,d fight and never loose,
B7 Em
For we were young, and sure to have our way.
Em E E7 Am
La la la la la la la la la la la la
B7 Em
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days.
Em Em7
Then the busy years went rushing by us.
E Am
We lost our starty notions on the way.
Am Em7
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern,
F#7 B7
we'd smile at one another, and we'd say:
Em
Those were the days, my friend,
Am
we thought they'd never end,
D D7 G
we'd sing and dance forever and a day;
Am
We'd live the life we choose,
Em
we,d fight and never loose,
B7 Em
For we were young, and sure to have our way.
Em E E7 Am
La la la la la la la la la la la la
B7 Em
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days.
Em Em7
Just tonight I stood before the tavern.
E Am
Nothing seemed the way it used to be.
Am Em7
In the glass I saw a strange reflection,
F#7 B7
was that lonely woman really me?
Em Em7
Through the door there came familiar laughter.
E Am
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Am Em7
Oh, my friend, we're older, but no wiser.
F#7 B7
For in our hearts the dream are still the same.
Em
Those were the days, my friend,
Am
we thought they'd never end,
D D7 G
we'd sing and dance forever and a day;
Am
We'd live the life we choose,
Em
we,d fight and never loose,
B7 Em
For we were young, and sure to have our way.
Em E E7 Am
La la la la la la la la la la la la
B7 Em
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days.
