Those Were The Days Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[E]Onc[F#m]e upon[E] a [Am]time[Dm]
there was a [Am]tavern
[A]Where we used to raise a
[Dm]glass or two
Remember how we laughed [E]away
the [A]hours[Am][Dm]
[B]Thinking of the great
things we would [E]do

[Verse 2]
Those [E]were the [Am]days my friend
We thought they'd [Dm]never end
We'd sing and [G]dance
forever and a [C]day
We'd sing the [Dm]life we choose
We'd fight and [Am]never lose
For we were [E]young and sure
to have our [A]way[Am]
[E]Da,

[Verse 3]
[Am]da, [E]da, [Am]da..[Dm].[G][C]
We'd sing the [Dm]life we choose
We'd [Am]fight and never lose
Those were the [E]days,
oh yes those were the days
[A][Am]

[Verse 4]
[Am]Then the busy [Dm]years went
rush[Am]ing by u[E]s[Am]
We lost [A]our starry notions on [Dm]the way
If by chance I'd see you in
[Am]the tavern[Dm][Am]
We'd [B]smile at one another
and we'd say
[E]

[Verse 5]
Those were the [Am]days my friend
We thought [Dm]they'd never end
We'd sing and [G]dance
forever and a [C]day
We'd [G]sing [C]the [Dm]life we choose
We'd fight and [Am]never lose
For we were [E]young oh yes
those where the days
[Am]

[Verse 6]
Just tonight I [Dm]stood before [Am]the tav[Dm]ern
[Am]Noth[Dm]ing s[Am]eemed[A]
the way it used [Am]to b[Dm]e
In the glass I saw a strange
[Am]refl[Dm]ection[Am]
[B]Was that lonely woman really me
[E]

[Verse 7]
Those were the [Am]days my friend
We thought [Dm]they'd never end
We'd sing and [G]dance
forever and a [C]day
We'd sing the [Dm]life we choose
We'd fight and [Am]never lose
Those were the [E]days,
oh yes those were the days
[Am]

[Verse 8]
[Am]Through the door there
[A]came [Dm]familiar [Am]laughter
[A]I saw your face and heard
you call [Dm]my name
Oh my friend we're older
[Am]but no w[Dm]iser[Am]
For in [B]our hearts the [Ebdim]dreams are
[E]still the same
[G#dim][E]

[Verse 9]
Those were [Am]the days my friend
We thought [Dm]they'd never end
We'd sing and [G]dance
forever and [C]a day
We'd sing the [Dm]life we choose
We'd fight and [Am]never lose
Those were the [E]days, oh yes,
those were the [Am]days
[E]Da,

[Verse 10]
[Am]da, da, [Dm]da[G][C]
[Dm]We'd sing the life we choose
[Am]We'd fight and never lose
Those were the [E]days, oh yes,
[Am]thos[E]e were the day[Am]s

[Outro 1]
[Am][Dm]
