Those Were The Days Gene Raskin* - transpose to Dm (Am)Once upon a time there was a (Am7)tavern (A7)Where we used to raise a glass or (Dm)two Remember how we laughed away the (Am)hours And (B7)dreamed of all the great things we could (E)do (E7)   Those were the (Am)days, my friend   We thought they'd (Dm)never end   We'd sing and (G)dance for(G7)ever and a (C)day   We'd live the (Dm)life we choose   We'd fight and (Am)never loose   For we were (E7)young and sure to have our (Am)way   (Am)Lala lala lala lala (A7)lalala (Dm)lala la   Those were the (E7)days, oh yes, those were the (Am)days Then the busy years went rushing by us We lost our stary motions on the way If by chance I'd see you in the tavern We'd smile at one another and we'd say: Just tonight I stood before the tavern Nothing seemed the way it used to be In the glass I saw a strange reflection Was that lonely fellow really me? Through the door there came a familiar laughter I saw your face and heard you call my name Oh, my friend, we're older but no wiser For in our hearts the dreams are still the same * based on a Russian traditional, produced by Paul McCartney, 1968   alles-uke.de
