Those Were The Days
Mary Hopkins
Music & Lyrics : Gene Raskin

Em          Am                Em
Once upon a time there was a tavern
Em7                               Am
Where we used to raise a glass or two
  Am7                             Em
Remember how we laughed away the hours
     F#7                                     B7
And dreamed of all the great things we would do

                Em
Those were the days my friend
                  Am
We thought they'd never end
               D7                 G
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
      Am   
We'd live the life we choose
               Em
We'd fight and never lose
             B7                        Em
For we were young and sure to have our way.
Em Am7 B7 Em (as refrain)
La  la la la...
               B7                           Am
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

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

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

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 lonely woman really me

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

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 dreams are still the same

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
