_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Once upon a time there was a tavern _ _ [C] where we used to [E] raise a [Fm] glass or two. _
_ Remember how we laughed away the [Gm] hours _ [D] and dreamed of all the great things [G] we could do.
_ _ _ _ Those were the [Cm] _ _ days we [Fm] thought they'd never end.
We'd [Bb] sing and dance forever [Eb] and a day.
We'd [Fm] live the life we choose, we'd [Cm] fight and never lose, for [Gm] we were young and sure [Cm] to play.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
Those [G] were the days, oh yes those were the [Cm] _
_ days. _ _ _ _
Then the busy years went rushing by us.
We [C] lost our stirring notions [Fm] on the way.
_ If by chance I see you in [Gm] the tavern, _ [D] we'd smile at one another [G] and we'd say.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] Those were the [Cm] days my friend we thought [Fm] they'd never end.
We'd sing [Bb] and dance forever [Eb] and a day.
We'd live the [Fm] life we choose, [Cm] we'd fight and never _ _ [G] _ lose, for we were young and sure to have our way.
Those were _ [Fm] _ _
the [Gm] _ days, oh yes those [Cm] were the days. _ _ _ _ _ _
Just tonight I stood before the tavern. _ _
Nothing seemed the [E] way it [Fm] used to be. _
In the glass I saw a [Cm] strange reflection.
_ [D] Was that old man [G] really me?
_ _ _ _ _ _ Those were _ the days my friend we thought [Fm] they'd never end.
We'd sing [Bb] and dance forever and [Eb] a day.
We'd live [Fm] the life we [Cm] choose, we'd fight and never lose, for [G] we were young and sure to have [Gm] our way.

_ _ _ Through _ _ _ the door there came familiar laughter. _
I saw your [Db] face and heard you [Gbm] call my name.
Oh my friend we're _ [Dbm] _ wiser, for [Eb] in our hearts [Eb] the dreams are [Ab] still the _ same.
_ _ _ _ Those were _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _
[Gbm] the days my friend we thought they'd never end.
We'd [B] sing and dance forever [Eb] and a [E] day.
We'd [Gbm] live the life we choose, we'd [Dbm] fight and never lose, for [Ab] we were young and [Db] sure to have our way.
