Those Were The Days
Mary Hopkin
AmOnce upon a time there was a tavern,
where we used to raise a glass or Dmtwo.
Remember how we laughed away the Amhours,
and H7dreamed of all the great things we would Edo.
Those were the Amdays, my friend,
we thought they'd Dmnever end,
we'd sing and Gdance for G7ever and a Cday;
We'd live the Dmlife we choose,
we'd fight and Amnever lose,
For we were E7young, and sure to have our Amway.
La la la la la la la la la Dmla la la
Those were the E7days, oh yes those were the Amdays.
F#mThen the busy years went rushing by us.
F#7We lost our starry F#notions on the Hmway.
If by chance I'd see you in the F#mtavern,
we'd smiled at one another, and we'd say:
F#mJust tonight I stood before the tavern.
F#7Nothing seemed the F#way it used to Hmbe.
In the glass I saw a strange F#mreflection,
G#was that lonely woman really C#7me?
F#mThrough the door there came familiar laughter.
F#7I saw your face and F#heard you call my Hmname.
Oh, my friend, we're older, but no F#mwiser.
For G#in our hearts the dreams are still the C#7same.
