EmOnce upon a time, there was a tavern
E7Where we used to raise a glasAms or two
Remember how we laughed away the Emhours,
F#7Think of all the greaB7t things we would do
Those were the Emdays, my friend
We thought they'dAm never end
We'd sing and DdanceD7 forever andG a day
We'd live tAmhe life we'd choose
We'd fight andEm never lose
For we were yB7oung and sure to have oEmur way

EmThen, the busy years went rushing by us
E7We lost our starry notions oAmn the way
If, by chance, I'd see you Emin the tavern,
We'F#7d smile at one another and weB7'd say
Those were the Emdays, my friend
We thought they'dAm never end
We'd sing and dDance D7forever andG a day
We'd live thAme life we'd choose
We'd fight andEm never lose
For we were yB7oung and sure to have oEmur way

EmJust tonight, I stood before the tavern
E7Nothing seemed the way it usedAm to be
In the glass, I saw a stranEmge reflection
F#7Was that lonely woman reaB7lly me?
Those were theEm days, my friend
We thought they'dAm never end
We'd sing and dDance D7forever and Ga day
We'd live thAme life we'd choose
We'd fight anEmd never lose
For we were B7young and sure to haveEm our way

EmThrough the door, there came familiar laughter
E7I saw your face and heard you calAml my name
Oh, my friend, we're older buEmt no wiser
F#7For in our hearts, the dreams are sB7till the same
Those were the Emdays, my friend
We thought they'dAm never end
We'd sing and dDance D7forever and Ga day
We'd live thAme life we'd choose
