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