Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4Those Were The Days chords Mary Hopkin 1968 (Gene Raskin "Dorogoi dlinnoyu" by Boris Fomin) Capo II Em Am B7 Em Em Once upon a time, there was a tavern E7 Am Where we used to raise a glass or two Em Remember how we laughed away the hours, F#7* B7 Think of all the great things we would do Em Those were the days, my friend Am We thought they'd never end D D7 G We'd sing and dance forever and a day Am We'd live the life we'd choose Em We'd fight and never lose B7 Em For we were young and sure to have our way B7 Em La La La La La La La La Am La La La La La La B7 Em La La La La La La La La La La Em Then, the busy years went rushing by us E7 Am We lost our starry notions on the way Em If, by chance, I'd see you in the tavern, F#7* B7 We'd smile at one another and we'd say Em Those were the days, my friend Am We thought they'd never end D D7 G We'd sing and dance forever and a day Am We'd live the life we'd choose Em We'd fight and never lose B7 Em For we were young and sure to have our way B7 Em La La La La La La La La Am La La La La La La B7 Em La La La La La La La La La La Em Just tonight, I stood before the tavern E7 Am Nothing seemed the way it used to be Em In the glass, I saw a strange reflection F#7* B7 Was that lonely woman really me? Em Those were the days, my friend Am We thought they'd never end D D7 G We'd sing and dance forever and a day Am We'd live the life we'd choose Em We'd fight and never lose B7 Em For we were young and sure to have our way B7 Em La La La La La La La La Am La La La La La La B7 Em La La La La La La La La La La Em Through the door, there came familiar laughter E7 Am I saw your face and heard you call my name Em Oh, my friend, we're older but no wiser F#7* B7 For in our hearts, the dreams are still the same Em Those were the days, my friend Am We thought they'd never end D D7 G We'd sing and dance forever and a day Am We'd live the life we'd choose Em We'd fight and never lose B7 Em For we were young and sure to have our way Em La La La La La La Am La La La La La La B7 Em La La La La La La La La La La 2x * F#7 = Bar the the second fret from capo with G string, 1st fret and A string, 2nd fret Set8
