Capo 2
===
[Em] Once upon a time there was a [Am] tavern
[Em] Where we used to raise a glass [Am] or two
Remember how we laughed away the [Em] hours
[F#m7b5] Think about 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 la...
[Em] Just tonight I stood before the [Am] tavern
[Em] Nothing seemed the way it used [Am] to 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 la...
[Fm] Through the door there came familiar [Bbm] laughter
I [Fm] saw your face and heard you call my [Bbm] name
Oh my friend we're older but no [Fm] wiser
[G7b5] For in our hearts the dreams are still the [C7] same
Those were the [Fm] days my friend we thought they'd [Bbm] never end
We'd sing and [D#] dance forever and a [G#] day
We'd live the [Bbm] 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 la...
