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