Those Were The Days

1. Once upon a time there was a tavern,
      E7                               Am
    where we used to raise a glass or two.
                                      Em
    Remember how we laughed away the hours,
    F#7                                     B7
    think of all the great things we would  do.
                Em                                 Am
Those were the days, my friend, we thought they`d never end,
              D       D7          G
we`d live and dance forever and a day,
               Am                                 Em
we`d live the life we`d choose,  we`d fight and never lose,
                 B7                           Em
those were the days, oh yes, those were the days.

2. Then the busy years went rushing by us,
        E7                           Am
    we lost our starry oceans on the way.
                                      Em
    If by chance I`d see you in the tavern,
          F#7                           B7
    we`d smile at one another and we`d say.
                Em                                 Am
Those were the days, my friend, we thought they`d never end,
              D       D7          G
we`d live and dance forever and a day,
               Am                                 Em
we`d live the life we`d choose,  we`d fight and never lose,
                 B7                           Em
those were the days, oh yes, those were the days.

3. Just tonight I stood before the tavern,
     E7                             Am
    nothing seemed the way it used to be,
                                     Em
    In the glass I saw a strange reflection,
    F#7                          B7
    was that lonely woman really me ?
                Em                                 Am
Those were the days, my friend, we thought they`d never end,
              D       D7          G
we`d live and dance forever and a day,
               Am                                 Em
we`d live the life we`d choose,  we`d fight and never lose,
                 B7                           Em
those were the days, oh yes, those were the days.

4. Through the door there came familiar laughter,
       E                                  Am
    I saw your face and heard you call my name.
                                       Em
    Oh, my friend, we`re older but no wiser,
        F#7                                      B7
    for in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
                Em                                 Am
Those were the days, my friend, we thought they`d never end,
              D       D7          G
we`d live and dance forever and a day,
               Am                                 Em
we`d live the life we`d choose,  we`d fight and never lose,
                 B7                           Em
those were the days, oh yes, those were the days.
