Dm  C  F  A
Hmmm


[Verse 1]
Dm              C
  We had such a hell of a time
       F                           A
On the banks of the river drinking too much wine
   Dm       C     F        A
Uh huh yeah    Uh huh yeah
Dm                       C
Sat by the water smoking cigarettes
F                          A
Told me those words that I can't forget
   Dm       C     F        A
Uh huh yeah    Uh huh yeah


[Pre-Chorus]
        Dm     C
When we were together
F                A
  Those were the days
            Dm       C
It couldn't get much better
F            A
  I feel the same
             Dm               C
You feel the same I told you
F         A           Dm  C  F
  I'll be waiting for you


[Chorus]
   A              Dm    C F
So meet me by the river
A               Dm   C F A
Where it all began
         Dm          C               F
Let's go back to the place where our love
       A                 Dm   C
burned brighter than the sun

     Dm                   C
Oh I see you passing that sweet 'ol moon
    F                          A
You thinkin' of me  'Cause I'm thinkin' of you
   Dm   C    F        A
Oh yeah   Oh oh yeah
          Dm                         C
I've been thinking those eyes of the deepest green
        F                   A
I don't know my mind  but I know what I see
Dm  C     F       A
       Oh oh yeah


[Pre-Chorus]
       Dm     C
And we were together
F                A
  Those were the days
            Dm       C
It couldn't get much better
F         A
  I do believe
       Dm               C
I do believe  five toes in
F         A           Dm  C  F
