[Verse]
G D Em G
I pondered on those days gone by
G C D
as I sat beside the mill
G Em G C
and gazed upon the setting sun
G D G
as it sank beneath the hill
G D Em G
I gazed on it once more me boys,
G C D
'twas the very sight I’ve seen
G Em G C
well it's just the same now as it was
G D G
when we were sweet sixteen
[Chorus]
G D Em G
Oh how I long for those bright days
G C D
to come again once more
G Em G C
But come again they never will for
G D G
now I’m sixty-four
[Verse]
G D Em G
I went a little further on
G C D
as up the hill I walked,
G Em G C
I sat down on that very spot
G D G
where we of'times sat and talked
G D Em G
we talked about those happy days
G C D
so blissful and serene
G Em G C
we talked about those happy days
G D G
when we were sweet sixteen
[Chorus]
G D Em G
Oh how I long for those bright days
G C D
to come again once more
G Em G C
But come again they never will for
G D G
now I’m sixty-four
[Verse]
G D Em G
Well the past is past and she's gone
G C D
on earth we'll meet no more
G Em G C
ah, but we will meet in heaven above
G D G
on that eternal shore
G D Em G
and when we meet we’ll part no more
G C D
we both will reign supreme
G Em G C
no more to sing of days gone by
G D G
when we were sweet sixteen
[Chorus]
G D Em G
Oh how I long for those bright days
G C D
to come again once more
G Em G C
But come again they never will for
G D G
now I’m sixty-four
