Bing Crosby – Those Were The Days My Friend Chords

Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
And dreamed of all the great things we would * do

Those were the days my friend we thought they’d never end
We’d sing and dance for ever and a day
We’d live the life we choose we’d fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way

La la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la, la la la la la

Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I’d see you in the tavern
We’d smile at one another and we’d * say

Those were the days my friend we thought they’d never end
We’d sing and dance for ever and a day
We’d live the life we choose we’d fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

La la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la, la la la la

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 woman really * me

Those were the days my friend we thought they’d never end
We’d sing and dance for ever and a day
We’d live the life we choose we’d fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

La la la La la la la la la la la la La la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la la, la la la la la la La la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la la la

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 dreams are still the * same

Those were the days my friend we thought they’d never end
We’d sing and dance for ever and a day
We’d live the life we choose we’d fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days La la la La la la la la la la la la La la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la la, la la la la la la La la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la la la
