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
Am7
hours,
and
B7
dreamed of all the great things we would
E
do.
Chorus
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 da
C
y;
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.
La la la la la la la
A7
la la
Dm
la la la
Those were the
E7
days, oh yes those were the d
Am
ays.
Then the busy years went rushing by us.
We lost our starty notions on the way.
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern,
we'd smiled at one another, and we'd say:
#repeat chorus
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 lonley woman really me?
#repeat chorus
Through the door there came 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 dream are still the same.
#repeat chorus
