Those Were The Days

	Am	Am7
	Once upon a time there was a	tavern,

	A7	Dm
	where we used to raise a glass or	two.

	Am7
Remember how we laughed away the	hours,

	B7	E
and	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 for	ever and a da	y;

	Dm	Am
We'd live the	life we choose, we'd fight and	never loose,

	E7	Am
For we were	young, and sure to have our	way.

	A7	Dm
La la la la la la la	la la	la la la

	E7	Am
Those were the	days, oh yes those were the d	ays.

Then the busy years went rushing by us.

We lost our starty notions on the way.

If by chance I'd see you in the tavern,

we'd smiled at one another, and we'd say:

repeat chorus

Just tonight I stood before the tavern.

Nothing seemed the way it used to be.

In the glass I saw a strange reflection,

was that lonley woman really me?

repeat chorus

Through the door there came familiar laughter.

I saw your face and heard you call my name.

Oh, my friend, we're older, but no wiser.

For in our hearts the dream are still the same.
