Those were the days
1. When the city of Atlantis stood serene above the sea,
D C D C
long time before our time, when the world
was free,
A
C G D–C
– D – C –D – C - F - G
those
were the da...ys.
2. Golden cymbals flying on ocarina sounds,
D C D C
before wild Medusa's serpents gave birth to hell,
A
C G D -
C - D – C – D – C - F - G
disguised as heaven.
Those were the days,
yes they were, those were the days.
A
C G D C
Those were their ways,
miracles everywhere,
D F G A
where are they now?
They're gone.
A
C G D
C G A
Those were their ways,
yes they were, those were their ways.
G F G A
Those were the days,
yes they were, those were the days.
3. Tie your painted shoes and dance, blue daylight in
your hair,
D C D C
overhead a noiseless eagle fans a flame,
A
C G D-C -
D – C – D – C – F - G
wonder
everywhere.
