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  
   dreaming of 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 sing and dance forever and a day,  
  
                      Am                                                  Em  
we`d live the life we`d choose,  we`d fight and never lose,  
  
         B7                                           Em              
for we were young and sure to have our way.    
  
- Am  B7  Em   
  
      Em  
2. 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.   
  
(2nd chorus) 
       Those were the days, my friend, 
       We thought they'd never end, 
       We'd sing and dance forever and a day. 
       We'd life the life we'd choose, we'd fight and never lose, 
       Those were the days, oh, yes, those were the days.
 
  
     Em             
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 ?   
  
+ Chorus #2 - Am  B7  Em  
  
       Em  
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.
