[Verse 1]
F#m
Once upon a time there was a tavern
F#7                              Bm7   Bm6
Where we used to raise a glass or   two
  Bm7           Bm6              F#m
Remember how we laughed away the hours
G#                                       C#7
Dreamed of all the great things we would do?
               F#m
Those were the days, my friend

[Chorus]
                  Bm
We thought they'd never end
               E7                  A
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
              Bm
We'd live the life we choose
               F#m
We'd fight and never lose
            C#7                        F#m
For we were young and sure to have our way
La-la-la

[Verse 2]
F#m
Then the busy years went rushing by us
   F#7                            Bm7 Bm6
We lost our starry notions on the way
Bm7              Bm6            F#m
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
     G#                            C#7
We'd smile at one another and we'd say
               F#m
Those were the days, my friend

[Chorus]
                  Bm
We thought they'd never end
                E7                 A
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
              Bm
We'd live the life we choose
               F#m
We'd fight and never lose
               C#7
Those were the days, oh yes,
               F#m
those were the days
La-la-la

[Verse 3]
F#m
Just tonight I stood before the tavern
F#7                               Bm7 Bm6
Nothing seemed the way it used to be 
Bm7             Bm6              F#m
In the glass, I saw a strange reflection
G#                           C#7
Was that lonely woman really me?
               F#m
Those were the days, my friend

[Chorus]
                  Bm
We thought they'd never end
               E7                  A
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
              Bm
We'd live the life we choose
               F#m
We'd fight and never lose
               C#7
Those were the days, oh yes,
               F#m
those were the days
La-la-la

[Verse 4]
Gm
Through the door there came familiar laughter
  G7                                  Cm
I saw your face and heard you call my name
                                  Gm
Oh, my friend, we're older but no wiser
    A
For in our hearts,
                         D7
the dreams are still the same
               Gm
Those were the days, my friend

[Chorus]
                  Cm
We thought they'd never end
               F7                  Bb
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
              Cm
We'd live the life we choose
               Gm
We'd fight and never lose
               D7
Those were the days, oh yes,
               Gm
those were the days
La-la-la
