Once upon a time, there was a tavern
                                  Dm
Where we used to raise a glass or two
                                 Am
Remember how we laughed away the hours,
B7                                     E
Think of all the great things we would do

Am
Those were the days, my friend
                  Dm
We thought they'd never end
              G        G7         C
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
              Dm
We'd live the life we'd choose
               Am
We'd fight and never lose
            E                          Am
For we were young and sure to have our way

Am
La La La La La La
Dm
La La La La La La
      E                    Am
La La La La La La La La La La

Am
Then, the busy years went rushing by us
                                  Dm
We lost our starry notions on the way
                                  Am
If, by chance, I'd see you in the tavern,
     B7                            E
We'd smile at one another and we'd say

Am
Those were the days, my friend
                  Dm
We thought they'd never end
              G        G7         C
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
              Dm
We'd live the life we'd choose
               Am
We'd fight and never lose
            E                          Am
For we were young and sure to have our way

Am
La La La La La La
Dm
La La La La La La

Just tonight, I stood before the tavern
                                  Dm
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
                                Am
In the glass, I saw a strange reflection
B7                           E
Was that lonely woman really me?

Am
Those were the days, my friend
                  Dm
We thought they'd never end
              G        G7         C
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
              Dm
We'd live the life we'd choose
               Am
We'd fight and never lose
            E                          Am
For we were young and sure to have our way

Am

Am
Through the door, there came familiar laughter
                                      Dm
I saw your face and heard you call my name
                                  Am
Oh, my friend, we're older but no wiser
B7                                          E
For in our hearts, the dreams are still the same

Am
Those were the days, my friend
                  Dm
We thought they'd never end
              G        G7         C
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
              Dm
We'd live the life we'd choose
               Am
We'd fight and never lose
            E                          Am
For we were young and sure to have our way
