C           G                                C           G
There was a time when we could dance until a quarter to ten.
                          C         G                         C   Ab G
We never thought it would end then, we never thought it would end.
C          G                             C           G
We used to carry on and drink and do the rock and roll.
                        C 
We never thought we get older 
G                            C       Ab G
We’d never thought it'd grow cold but now

Chorus

Down by the sea she knew a sailor who had been to war.
She never even knew a sailor before, she never even knew his name.
He'd come to town and he would pound her for a couple of days
And then he'd sail across the bubbly waves and those
And those were happier days, but now

Chorus
