Those Were The Days Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Once upon a time there
was a tav[Dm]ern
[G]Where we used to raise
a glass [C]or two
'Member how we'd laugh
away the [Dm]hours
[B]Thinking of the great
things we would [E]do?

[Verse 2]
[Am]Then those busy years
went rushing [Dm]by us
[G]Lost our sorry notions on [C]the way
If by chance I'd see you
in the [Dm]tav ern
[B]We'd smile at one another
an[E]d we'd say

[Verse 3]
[E]
Those were the [Am]days, my friend
We thought they'd [Dm]never end
We'd sing [G]and dance
forever and [C]a day
We'd live the [Dm]life we choose
We'd fight and [Am]never lose
For we were [E]young,
born to have our way
(Born to have our [Am]way)

[Verse 4]
Just tonight I stood before [Dm]the tavern
[G]Nothing seemed the way it used [C]to be
In the glass I saw a strange re[Dm]flection
[B]Is this lonely woman really me?
[E]

[Verse 5]
Those were the [Am]days, my friend
We thought they'd [Dm]never end
We'd sing [G]and dance
forever and [C]a day
We'd live [Dm]the life we choose
We'd [Am]fight and never lose
For we were [E]young,
born to have our way
(Born to have our way)
Those were the days La, da- da, da- da

[Verse 6]
La, da- da, da- [Am]da
[Dm][Gsus4]
[Dm]La, [G]da- da- da- da
[C]La, da- da, da- [Dm]da
[Am]La, da- da, da- da
[E]La, da- da- da

[Verse 7]
[Am]Through the door came familiar [Dm]laughter
[G]I saw your face and heard
you call my [C]name
Oh, my friend, we're older but [Dm]no wiser
[D]For in [B]our hearts,
the dreams are still the same
[E]

[Verse 8]
Those were the [Am]days, my friend
We thought they'd [Dm]never end
We'd sing [G]and dance
forever and [C]a day
We'd live [Dm]the life we choose
We'd [Am]fight and never lose
For we were [E]young,
born to have our way
(Born to have our way)
Those were the [Am]days, my friend
We thought they'd [Dm]never end
We'd sing [G]and dance
forever and [C]a day
We'd live the [Dm]life we choose
We'd [Am]fight and never lose
For we were [E]young,
born to have our way
(Born to [Am]have our way)
[E]Those were

[Verse 9]
the [Am]days
