^AmOnce upon a time, there was a tavern Where we used to raise a glass or ^Dmtwo Remember how we laughed away the ^Amhours, ^B7Think of all the great things we would ^Edo

Those were the ^Amdays, my friend We thought they'd ^Dmnever end We'd sing and ^Gdance for^G7ever and a ^Cday We'd live the ^Dmlife we'd choose We'd fight and ^Amnever lose For we were ^Eyoung and sure to have our ^Amway

^AmThen, the busy years went rushing by us We lost our starry notions on the ^Dmway If, by chance, I'd see you in the ^Amtavern, We'd ^B7smile at one another and we'd ^Esay

Those were the ^Amdays, my friend We thought they'd ^Dmnever end We'd sing and ^Gdance for^G7ever and a ^Cday We'd live the ^Dmlife we'd choose We'd fight and ^Amnever lose For we were ^Eyoung and sure to have our ^Amway

^AmJust tonight, I stood before the tavern Nothing seemed the way it used to ^Dmbe In the glass, I saw a strange re^Amflection ^B7Was that lonely woman really ^Eme'

Those were the ^Amdays, my friend We thought they'd ^Dmnever end We'd sing and ^Gdance for^G7ever and a ^Cday We'd live the ^Dmlife we'd choose We'd fight and ^Amnever lose For we were ^Eyoung and sure to have our ^Amway

^AmThrough the door, there came familiar laughter I saw your face and heard you call my ^Dmname Oh, my friend, we're older but no ^Amwiser ^B7For in our hearts, the dreams are still the ^Esame

Those were the ^Amdays, my friend We thought they'd ^Dmnever end We'd sing and ^Gdance for^G7ever and a ^Cday We'd live the ^Dmlife we'd choose We'd fight and ^Amnever lose For we were ^Eyoung and sure to have our ^Amway
