Those were the days 

    Am       Dm/ 6671  21761  6  Am/
Once upon a time there was a tavern
         Am/     3345 6343  2      Dm/    
Where we used to raise a glass or two
      Am           Dm/  26671 21761 6 Am/     
Remember how we laughed away the hours
     B7/      6765 67656 7             E/     
Dreamed of all the great things we would do?

       **Am/                                Dm/ 
Those were the days, my friend We thought they'd never end
                G   G7/              C/
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
        Dm/                            Am/
We'd live the life we choose  We'd fight and never lose
       Em/                           Am
For we were young and sure to have our way

***Am/         Dm/        G/       Em/   
  Lalalala.   Lalalala.. Lalalala  .Lalalala. 
    Dm/            Am/      Em/     Am/   
Lalalala..Lala  Lalala lala..Lalala lalalala...

   Am/                    Dm/
Then the busy years went rushing by us
     Am/                    Dm/
We lost our starry notions on the way
Am/                    Dm/
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
B7/                             E/
We'd smile at one another and we'd say **

Am/                    Dm/
Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Am/                    Dm/
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
Am/                    Dm/
In the glass, I saw a strange reflection
B7/                             E/
Was that lonely woman really me? **

Am/                    Dm/
Through the door there came familiar laughter
Am/                    Dm/
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Am/                    Dm/
Oh, my friend, we're older but no wiser
B7/                             E/
For in our hearts, the dreams are still the same **
[Chorus]
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days
La la la la...
