Verse 1
Am 
Once upon a time
There was a tavern where we used
A 
Dm 
to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed
Am 
away the hours
B 
And think of all the great
E 
things we would do

Verse 2
Am 
Then the busy years went
rushing by us
A 
Dm 
We lost our starry notions on the way
Am 
If by chance, I'd see you in the tavern
B 
We'd smile at one another
E 
and we'd say
Am 
Those were the days my friend,
A 
Dm 
we thought they'd never end

Verse 3

We'd sing and dance

forever and a day

We'd live the life we chose,

we'd fight and never lose

For we were young and

sure to have our way

La la la la la lay

E 
Those were the days, oh yes,

Just tonight, I stood before the tavern

Nothing seemed the way it used to    be

In the glass I saw a strange reflection

C 
Oh  was that lonely woman
F

really me
Through the door there came familiar laughter
Bb 
I saw your face and heard
Ebm 
you call  my name
Bbm 
Oh my friend we're older, but no wiser

For in  our hearts the dreams are still the same
