Verse 1
Am 
Once upon a time there was a tavern
A 
Where we used to raise a
Dm 
glass or two
Remember how we laughed away
Am 
the hours
B 
And dreamed of all the great
E 
things we would do
Am 
Those were the days, my friend
Dm 
We thought they'd never end
G 
We'd sing and dance
C 
forever and a day
Dm 
We'd live the life that we'd choose
A 
We fight and never lose,
Am 
A 
E 
Am 
for we were young and sure to have our way
A 
Dm 
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
E 
Those were the days,
Am 
oh yes those were the days
Then the busy years went rushing by us
A 
Dm 
We lost our staring oceans on the way
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
Am 
B 
We'd smile at one another and we'd
E 
Am 
say those were the days, my friend.
Dm 
We thought they'd never end.
G 
We'd sing and dance
C 
forever and a day.
Dm 
We'd live the life we choose.
A 
We'd fight and never lose.
Am 
E 
For we were young and
Am 
sure to have our way.
A 
Dm 
E 
Am 
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Just tonight I stood before the tavern
A 
Dm 
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw
Am 
A strange reflection
B 
Was that lonely fellow
E 
Really me?
Am 
Those were the days,
Dm 
Brooklyn, I thought we'd never end
G 
We'd sing and dance
C 
forever and a day
Dm 
We'd live the life we'd choose
A 
Am 
We'd fight and never lose
E 
For we were young and
Am 
sure to have our way
A 
Dm 
La la la la la la la la la la  la
E 
Those were the days, oh yes,
Am 
those were the days
Through the door there came familiar laughter,
A 
Dm 
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend,
Am 
we're older but no wiser,
B 
For in our hearts the dreams
E 
are still the same.
Am 
Those were the days, my friend,
Dm 
we thought they'd never end,
G 
We'd sing and dance
C 
forever and a day
Dm 
We'd live the life we'd choose
A 
We'd fight and never lose
Am 
E 
For we were young and
Am 
sure to have our way
Oh, la, la, la
A 
Dm 
Oh, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
E 
Those were the days
Am 
Oh, yes, those were the days
E 
Oh, la, la, la
A 
Dm 
Oh, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
E 
Those were the days
Am 
Oh, yes, those were the days
