Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F#m][F#][Bm][C#]
[F#m][F#m]

[Verse 1]
[F#m]Once upon a time there was a tavern
[F#]Where we used to raise a glass or [Bm]two
Remember how we laughed
away the [F#m]hours
[G#]Think of all the [F#]great [G#]things we would [C#]do?

[Chorus 1]
Those were the [F#m]days, my friend
We thought they'd [Bm]never end
We'd sing and [E]dance forever and a [A]day
We'd live the [Bm]life we choose
We'd fight and [F#m]never lose
For we were [C#]young and sure to have our [F#m]way
[C#]La-la-la- da-d[F#m]a-da
La-la-la- [Bm]da-da-da
Da-da-da- [C#]da,
da-da-da-da-da- [F#m]da
[F#m]

[Verse 2]
[F#m]Then the busy years
went rushing by us
We [F#]lost our starry notions on the [Bm]way
If by chance I'd see you in the [F#m]tavern
We'd [G#]smile at one an[F#]other
[G#]and we'd say[C#]

[Chorus 2]
Those were the [F#m]days, my friend
We thought they'd [Bm]never end
We'd sing and [E]dance forever and a [A]day
We'd live the [Bm]life we choose
We'd fight and [F#m]never lose
Those were the [C#]days,
oh yes, those were the [F#m]days
La-[C#]la-la-[F#m]da-da-da
La-la-la- [Bm]da-da-da
Da-da-da- [C#]da,
da-da-da-da-da- [F#m]da
[F#m]

[Verse 3]
[F#m]Just tonight I stood before the tavern
[F#]Nothing seemed the way it used to [Bm]be
In the glass I saw a strange re[F#m]flection
[G#]Was that lonely [F#]woman [G#]really me?[C#]

[Chorus 3]
Those were the [F#m]days, my friend
We thought they'd [Bm]never end
We'd sing and [E]dance forever and a [A]day
We'd live the [Bm]life we choose
We'd fight and [F#m]never lose
Those were the [C#]days,
oh yes, those were the [F#m]days
[C#]La-la-la- da-d[F#m]a-da
La-la-la- [Bm]da-da-da
Da-da-da- [E]da
Da-da-da-da-da- [A]da
Da-da-da- [Bm]da-da-da
Da-da-da- [F#m]da-da-da
Da-da-da- [C#]da
Da-da-da-da-da- [F#m]da
[D][F#m][D][Gm]

[Verse 4]
[Gm]Through the door,
there came familiar laughter
I [G]saw your face and heard you call my [Cm]name
Oh, my friend, we're older but no [Gm]wiser
For [A]in our hearts, the dreams are still the [D]same

[Chorus 4]
Those were the [Gm]days, my friend
We thought they'd [Cm]never end
We'd sing and [F]dance forever and a [Bb]day
We'd live the [Cm]life we choose
We'd fight and [Gm]never lose
Those were the [D]days,
oh yes, those were the [Gm]days
[D]La-la-la- [Gm]da-da-da
La-la-la- [Cm]da-da-da
La-la-la- [F]da
Da-da-da-da-da- [Bb]da
Da-da-da- [Cm]da-da-da
Da-da-da- [Gm]da-da-da
Da-da-da- [D]da
Da-da-da-da-da- [Gm]da

[Outro 1]
La-la-la-la-la- [Bb]la
