Those were the days (my friend)

-6 -6-7 7 -8 7 -7 -6 7 -6
Once upon a time there was a tavern
5 5 -5 6 -6 5 -5 5 -4
Where we used to raise a glass or two
-6 -6 -6 -7 7 -8 7 -7 -6 7 -6
Remember how we laughed away the hours
-6 -7 -7 -7 7 -7 -5 6 -6 -7
And think of all the great things we would do

chorus
7 7 -7 -7 -6 -6
Those were the days, my friend
-6 -6 6 6 -5 -5
We thought they’d never end
-4 5 -5 6 -6 -7 -6 6 -5 5
We’d sing and dance forever and a day
4 -4 5 6 -5 -5
We’d live the life we choose
-5 6 -6 -8 7 7
We’d fight and never lose
-6 -7 7 8 -8 7 -7 -6 6 -6
For we were young and sure to have our way
7 7 -7 -7 -6 -6
la la la la la la
-6 -6 6 6 -5 -5
la la la la la la
-4 5 -5 6 -6 8 -8 7 -7 7
la la la la la la la la la la

-6 -6 -7 7 -8 7 -7 -6 7 -6
Then the busy years went rushing by us
5 5 5 -5 6 -6 5 -5 5 -4
We lost our starry notions on the way
-6 -6 -7 7 -8 7 -7 -6 7 -6
If by chance I’d see you in the tavern
-6 -7 -7 -7 7 -7 -5 6 -6 -7
We’d smile at one another and we’d say

chorus

-6 -6 -7 7 -8 7 -7 -6 7 -6
Just tonight I stood before the tavern
5 5 -5 6 -6 5 -5 5 -4
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
-6 -6 -7 7 -8 7 -7 -6 7 -6
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
-7 -7 -7 7 -7 -5 6 -6 -7
Was that lonely woman really me

chorus

One more verse and chorus but not enough room to post it
