TITLE: Those Were the Days
Lyrics and Chords
[Television Theme Song]
[Original in F; capo 5 if you want]
Boy, the way Glenn Miller played
Songs that made the Hit Parade
Guys like us, we had it made
Those were the days
/ C - / C C7 / F G / C - /
Didn't need no welfare state
Everybody pulled his weight
Gee, our old La Salle ran great
Those were the days
And you knew where you were then
Girls were girls, and men were men
Mister, we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again
/ F - / C - / Am - G - /
People seemed to be content
Fifty dollars paid the rent
Freaks were in a circus tent
Those were the days
Take a little Sunday spin
Go to watch the Dodgers win
Have yourself a dandy day that cost you under a fin
Hair was short and skirts were long
Kate Smith really sold a song
I don't know just what went wrong
Those were the days
