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