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
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'd choose
Em
We'd fight and never lose
B7 Em
For we were young and sure to have our way

Then, the busy years went rushing by us
E7 Am
We lost our starry notions 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
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'd choose
Em
We'd fight and never lose

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
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'd choose
Em
We'd fight and never lose

Em
Through the door, there came familiar laughter
E7 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
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'd choose
Em
We'd fight and never lose
