[F#m] [Bm]
[C#] [F#m]
Once upon a time there was a tavern [F#] Where we used [G#] to raise a [Bm] glass or two
Remember how we laughed [F#m] away the hours [G#] Think of all the great things we [C#] would do
Those were [F#m] the days my friend, we thought [Bm] they'd never end
We'd sing [E] and dance forever [A]
and a day
We'd live [Bm] the life we'd choose, we'd [F#m] fight and never lose
For we [C#] were young and sure to [F#m] have our way
[Bm] [C#]
[F#m]
Then the busy years went rushing by us
[F#] We lost our starry notions on [Bm] the way
If by chance I'd see you [F#m] in the tavern
[G#] We'd smile at one another [C#] and we'd say
Those were the [F#m] days my friend, we thought [Bm] they'd never end
We'd sing [E] and dance [A] forever and a day
We'd live [Bm] the life we'd choose, we'd fight [F#m] and never lose
Those were [C#] the days, oh yes those were [F#m] the days
[B] [Bm]
[C#] [F#m]
Just tonight I stood before the tavern
[F#] Laughing, singing the way [Bm] it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange [F#m] reflection
[G#] Was that lonely woman [C#] really me?
Those were [F#m] the days my friend, we [Bm] thought they'd never end
We'd [E] sing and dance forever [A] and a day
We'd live [Bm] the life we'd choose, we'd fight [F#m] and never lose
Those were [C#] the days, oh yes those were [F#m] the days
[Bm] [E]
[A] [Bm] Dadadadadadadadadadadadadada
[F#m] [A] [C#] [F#m]
[Gm]
Through the door there came familiar laughter
[G] I saw your face and heard you call [Cm] my name
Oh my friend we're [Gm] older but no wiser
For [A] in our hearts the dreams [D] are still the same
Those were [Gm] the days my [G] friend, we [Cm] thought they'd never end.
We'd [F] sing and dance, [Dm] forever [A#] and a day.
[B] [Cm] Live the life we choose, we'd [Gm] fight and dance.
Those were [D] the days.
Yes, those were the days.
