Lyrics
(Am)Once upon a (Am6)time there was a tavern
We (A)where we used to raise a glass or (Dm)two.
(Dm6)(Dm)Remember how we laughed away the (Am7)hours,
(Am6)and (B)dreamed of all the (B9)great things we would (E)do.
Those were the (Am)days, my friend.
We thought they'd (Dm)never end.
We'd sing and (G)dance (G7)forever and a (C)day;
we'd live the (Dm)life we chose,
we'd fight and (Am)never lose, for we were (E7)young and sure to have our (Am)way.
La la la la la la (A)la la la (Dm)la la la those were (F7)the (E7)days,
oh yes, those were the (Am)days.
Then the busy (Am6)years went rushing by us.
I (A)lost our starry notions on the (Dm)way.
(Dm6)Re (Dm)If by chance I'd see you in the (Am7)(Am6)tavern,
we'd (B)smile at one (B9)another and we'd (E)say.
Those were the (Am)days, my friend.
We thought they'd (Dm)never end.
We'd sing and (G)dance (G7)forever and a (C)day;
we'd live the (Dm)life we chose,
we'd fight and (Am)never lose, for we were (E7)young and sure to have our (Am)way.
La la la la la la (A)la la la (Dm)la la la those were (F7)the (E7)days,
oh yes, those were the (Am)days.
