[Dm↓] Once upon a time there was a [Dm↓] tavern
[D7↓] Where we used to raise a glass or [Gm↓] two
Re- [Gm↓] member how we laughed away the [Dm↓] hours
And [E7↓] think of all the great things we would [A7↓] do


{soc}
Those were the [Dm] days my friend
[D7] We thought they'd [Gm] never end
[Gm] We'd sing and [C] dance, for- [C7] ever and a [F] day 
[F] We'd live the [Gm] life we’d choose
[Gm] We'd fight and [Dm] never lose
[Dm] For we were [A7] young, and [/] sure to have our [Dm] way [Dm↓]
La la la [Dm] di, di-di, [D7] di-di-di [Gm] di, di-di
[Gm] Di di di [A7] di, di [/] di-di di-di [Dm] di [Dm↓]
{eoc}


[Dm↓] Then the busy years went rushing [Dm↓] by us
We [D7↓] lost our starry notions on the [Gm↓] way
[Gm↓] If by chance I'd see you in the [Dm↓] tavern
We'd [E7↓] smile at one another and we'd [A7↓] say


{soc}
Those were the [Dm] days my friend
[D7] We thought they'd [Gm] never end
[Gm] We'd sing and [C] dance, for- [C7] ever and a [F] day 
[F] We'd live the [Gm] life we’d choose
[Gm] We'd fight and [Dm] never lose
[Dm] Those were the [A7] days, oh [/] yes, those were the [Dm↓] days
La la la [Dm] di, di-di, [D7] di-di-di [Gm] di, di-di
[Gm] Di di di [A7] di, di [/] di-di di-di [Dm] di [Dm↓]
{eoc}


[Dm↓] Just tonight I stood before the [Dm↓] tavern
[D7↓] Nothing seemed the way it used to [Gm↓] be
[Gm↓] In the glass I saw a strange re- [Dm↓] flection
[E7↓] Was that lonely woman really [A7↓] me?


{soc}
Those were the [Dm] days my friend
[D7] We thought they'd [Gm] never end
[Gm] We'd sing and [C] dance, for- [C7] ever and a [F] day 
[F] We'd live the [Gm] life we’d choose
[Gm] We'd fight and [Dm] never lose
[Dm] Those were the [A7] days, oh [/] yes, those were the [Dm] days [Dm↓]


La da da [Dm] da, da da, [D7] la da da [Gm] la, da-da
[Gm] La da da [C] da, la [C7] da da da da [F] da  
[F] La da da [Gm] da, da-da, [/] la da da [Dm] da, da-da
[Dm] La da da [A7] da, la [/] da da da da [Dm] da   [Dm↓]
{eoc}


[Dm↓] Through the door there came familiar [Dm↓] laughter
I[D7↓] saw your face and heard you call my [Gm↓] name
[Gm↓] Oh my friend we're older but no [Dm↓] wiser
For [E7↓] in our hearts the dreams are still the [A7↓] same


{soc}
Those were the [Dm] days my friend
[D7] We thought they'd [Gm] never end
[Gm] We'd sing and [C] dance, for- [C7] ever and a [F] day 
[F] We'd live the [Gm] life we’d choose
[Gm] We'd fight and [Dm] never lose
[Dm] Those were the [A7] days, oh yes, those were the [Dm↓] days


La da da [Dm] da, da da, [D7] la da da [Gm] la, da-da
[Gm] La da da [C] da, la [C7] da da da da [F] da  
[F] La da da [Gm] da, da-da, [/] la da da [Dm] da, da-da
[Dm] La da da [A7] da, la [/] da da da da [Dm] da.... 
[Dm] La da da [A7↓] da da da [A7↓] Da, la da da da [D↓] da...
