Qué Tiempo Tan Feliz (Those Were the Days)

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 [Bm]dance forever and [Bm]a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and [Bm]never lose
For we were young and [Bm]sure to [C7]have our way.
La la la la
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

Then the busy years went ɾushing by us
We lost our starry notions on [C7]the way
If by chance I'd see you [A7in the tavern
We'd smile at one another and [Bm]we'd say

Those were the days my [A]friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and [Bm]dance forever and [Bm]a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and [Bm]never lose
For we were young and [Bm]sure to [C7]have our way.
La la la la
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to [C7]be
In the glass I saw a stɾange ɾeflection
Was that lonely woman ɾeally me

Those were the days my [A]friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and [Bm]dance forever and [Bm]a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and [Bm]never lose
For we were young and [Bm]sure to [C7]have our way.
La la la la
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and [Bm]heard you [A7call [Em]my [A]name
Oh my [A]friend we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same

Those were the days my [A]friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and [Bm]dance forever and [Bm]a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and [Bm]never lose
For we were young and [Bm]sure to [C7]have our way.
La la la la
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
