    The song reminisces about the carefree days of youth spent in a tavern with friends. It describes laughing and dreaming of the future as they sang and danced without a care. Though the busy years rushed by and changed them, returning to the tavern evokes memories of their unending friendship and youthful optimism that the dreams they had would last forever.

    Those Were The Days (Mary Hopkin 1968)

    Am Dm E7 Am

    Am
    Once upon a time, there was a tavern
    A7 Dm
    Where we used to raise a glass or two
    Am
    Remember how we laughed away the hours,
    B7 E7
    Think of all the great things we would do

    Am
    Those were the days, my friend
    Dm
    We thought they'd never end
    G C
    We'd sing and dance forever and a day
    Dm
    We'd live the life we'd choose
    Am
    We'd fight and never lose
    E7 Am
    For we were young and sure to have our way

    E7 Am
    La La La La La La La La
    Dm
    La La La La La La
    E7 Am
    La La La La La La La La La La

    Am
    Then, the busy years went rushing by us
    A7 Dm
    We lost our starry notions on the way
    Am
    If, by chance, I'd see you in the tavern,
    B7 E7
    We'd smile at one another and we'd say

    Am
    Those were the days, my friend
    Dm
    We thought they'd never end
    G C
    We'd sing and dance forever and a day
    Dm
    We'd live the life we'd choose
    Am
    We'd fight and never lose
    E7 Am
    For we were young and sure to have our way

    E7 Am
    La La La La La La La La
    Dm
    La La La La La La
    E7 Am
    La La La La La La La La La La
    Am
    Just tonight, I stood before the tavern
    A7 Dm
    Nothing seemed the way it used to be
    Am
    In the glass, I saw a strange reflection
    B7 E7
    Was that lonely woman really me?

    Am
    Those were the days, my friend
    Dm
    We thought they'd never end
    G C
    We'd sing and dance forever and a day
    Dm
    We'd live the life we'd choose
    Am
    We'd fight and never lose
    E7 Am
    For we were young and sure to have our way

    E7 Am
    La La La La La La La La
    Dm
    La La La La La La
    E7 Am
    La La La La La La La La La La

    Am
    Through the door, there came familiar laughter
    A7 Dm
    I saw your face and heard you call my name
    Am
    Oh, my friend, we're older but no wiser
    B7 E7
    For in our hearts, the dreams are still the same

    Am
    Those were the days, my friend
    Dm
    We thought they'd never end
    G C
    We'd sing and dance forever and a day
    Dm
    We'd live the life we'd choose
    Am
    We'd fight and never lose
    E7 Am
    For we were young and sure to have our way

    Am
    La La La La La La
    Dm
    La La La La La La
    E7 Am
    La La La La La La La La La La 2x
