Capo 2
[Em]Once upon a time there was a tavern
[E7]Where we used to raise a glass or [Am]two
Remember how we laughed away the [Em]hours
And [F#m7b5]think of all the great things we would [B7]do
Those were the [Em]days my friend We thought they'd [Am]never end
We'd sing and [D]dance forever and a [G]day
We'd live the [Am]life we choose We'd fight and [Em]never lose
For we were [B7]young and sure to have our [Em]way
La la la [Em]la la la La la la [Am]la la la
La la la [B7]la La la la la la [Em]la
[Em]Just tonight I stood before the tavern
No [E7]thing seemed the way it used to [Am]be
In the glass I saw a strange re [Em]flection
[F#m7b5]Was that lonely woman really [B7]me
Those were the [Em]days my friend We thought they'd [Am]never end
We'd sing and [D]dance forever and a [G]day
We'd live the [Am]life we choose We'd fight and [Em]never lose
For we were [B7]young and sure to have our [Em]way
La la la [Em]la la la La la la [Am]la la la
La la la [D]la La la la la la [G]la
La la la [Am]la la la La la la [Em]la la la
La la la [B7]la La la la la la [Em]la
[Fm]Through the door there came familiar laughter
I [F7]saw your face and heard you call my [A#m]name
Oh my friend we're older but no [Fm]wiser
For [Gm7b5]in our hearts the dreams are still the [C7]same
Those were the [Fm]days my friend We thought they'd [A#m]never end
We'd sing and [D#]dance forever and a [G#]day
We'd live the [A#m]life we choose We'd fight and [Fm]never lose
For we were [C7]young and sure to have our [Fm]way
La la la [Fm]la la la La la la [A#m]la la la
La la la [D#]la La la la la la [G#]la
La la la [A#m]la la la La la la [Fm]la la la
La la la [C7]la La la la la la [Fm]la
