Am             Dm              Am
Once upon a time there was a tavern,
A                                 Dm
Where we used to raise a glass or two.
Am                 Dm             Am
Remember how we d laugh away the hours,
G7                                     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 choose,
               Am
We d fight and never lose,
             E7                         Am
For we were young and sure to have our way!

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