Use a capo on 1. and transpose to Am.
If you have Eb tune, transpose to Bm.
I dont' think they play the 7-chords,
you can take them away with simplify.
[Intro]
Bbm Ebm F7 Bbm Bbm
[Verse 1]
Bbm Bbm
Once upon a time there was a tavern
Bb7 Ebm
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Ebm Bbm
Remember how we laughed away the hours
C7 F7
and think about the great things we would do
N.C
[Chorus]
Bbm
Those were the days, my friend
Ebm
We thought they'd never end
Ab Ab7 Db
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
Ebm
We'd live the life we'd choose
Bbm
We'd fight and never lose
F7 Bbm
For we were young and sure to have our way
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Bbm Bbm
Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Bb7 Ebm
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
Ebm Bbm
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
C7 F7
Was that lonely woman really me?
N.C.
[Chorus]
Bbm
Those were the days, my friend
Ebm
We thought they'd never end

We'd sing and dance forever and a day

Il me fait le coup du souviens-toi
[Verse 3]
Bbm Bbm
Through the door there came familiar laughter
Bb7 Ebm
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Ebm Bbm
Oh, my friend, we're older but no wiser
C7 F7
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same
N.C.

Mogili hranyat pokoj
