Those Were The Days Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise [A]a
glass or [Dm]two
Remember how we laughed away
[Am]the hours
And dreamed [B]of all the 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
forever and a [C]day
We'd live the [Dm]life that we'd choose
We fight and [A]never lose,
[Am]for we w[A]ere youn[E]g and sure to have our way[Am]
La la la [A]la la la la la la [Dm]la la la la la
Those were the [E]days,
oh yes those were the [Am]days
Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost [A]our staring oceans on the [Dm]way
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
[Am]We'd smile at on[B]e another and we'd
[E]say those were [Am]the days, my friend.
We thought they'd [Dm]never end.
We'd sing and [G]dance
forever and [C]a day.
We'd live [Dm]the life we choose.
We'd fight and [A]never lose.
[Am]For we were youn[E]g and
sure to have our [Am]way.
Fa, la, la, [A]la, la, la, la, la, [Dm]la![E][Am]
Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Noth[A]ing seemed the way it used to [Dm]be
In the glass I saw
A strange reflec[Am]tion
[B]Was that lonely fellow
[E]Really me?
Those were the [Am]days,
Brooklyn, I thought we'd [Dm]never end
We'd sing [G]and dance
forever and a [C]day
We'd live the [Dm]life we'd choose
We'd fight and [A]never [Am]lose
For we were [E]young and
sure to have our [Am]way
La la la [A]la la la la la la [Dm]la la
Those were [E]the days, oh yes,
those were the [Am]days
Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw [A]your face and heard you call my [Dm]name.
Oh my friend,
we're older but no wiser[Am],
For in [B]our hearts the dreams
are still the [E]same.
Those 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 live the [Dm]life we'd choose
We'd fight and [A]never lose
[Am]For we were [E]young and
sure to have our [Am]way
Oh, la, la, la
[A]Oh, la, la, la, la, [Dm]la, la, la, la
Those were the [E]days
Oh, yes, those were the [Am]days
Oh, la, [E]la, la
[A]Oh, la, la, la, la, [Dm]la, la, la, la
Those were the [E]days
Oh, yes, those were the [Am]days
