Those Were the Days my Friend - Mary Hopkins
Verse 1:
[Dm] Once upon a time there was a tavern
[D7] Where we used to raise a glass or [Gm] two
[Gm] Remember how we laughed away the [Dm] hours
And [E7] dreamed of all the great things we would [A7*] do
|Chorus 1:
|Those were the [Dm] days my friend we thought they'd [Gm] never end
|We'd sing and [C] dance for[C7]ever and a [F] day
|We'd live the [Gm] life we choose we'd fight and [Dm] never lose
|For we were [A7] young and sure to have our [Dm] way
|
|[A7] La la la [Dm] la la la la la la [Gm] la la la La la la [A7] la, la la la la la [Dm] la
Verse 2:
[Dm] Then the busy years went rushing by us
We [D] 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
Chorus 1:
Verse 3:
[Dm] Just tonight I stood before the 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
|Chorus 2:
|Those were the [Dm] days my friend we thought they'd [Gm] never end
|We'd sing and [C] dance for[C7]ever and a [F] day
|We'd live the [Gm] life we choose we'd fight and [Dm] never lose
|For we were [A7] young and sure to have our [Dm] way
|
|[A7] La la la [Dm] La la la la la la [Gm] la la la La la la [C] la, la [C7] la la la la [F] la
|La la la [Gm] la la la, la la la [Dm] la la la La la la [A7] la, la la la la la [Dm] la
Verse 4:
[Dm] Through the door there came familiar 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
|Chorus 2:
|Those were the [Dm] days my friend we thought they'd [Gm] never end
|We'd sing and [C] dance for[C7]ever and a [F] day
|We'd live the [Gm] life we choose we'd fight and [Dm] never lose
|For we were [A7] young and sure to have our [Dm] way
|
|(Repeat the La-Las until count out)
|[A7] La la la [Dm] La la la la la la [Gm] la la la La la la [C] la, la [C7] la la la la [F] la
|La la la [Gm] la la la, la la la [Dm] la la la La la la [A7] la, la la la la la [Dm] la
